Yup. 

Weekend warrior level stuff and that is probably every 3 or 4 weekends if you want it to last very long.

Been watching this for a Milwaukee mention. Would kind of like to have a REALLY portable option, and have lots of M18 batteries on hand. Anybody have experience?

They are nice for small jobs or someone that does not use a table saw often. You need at least two of the larger batteries like the 8,0 or 12.0. you can run it in a pinch with a smaller battery, but it won't last long.

I don't have any bigger than 5ah. But I have like 16 of them, and the circular saw seems to do ok on them as long as the blade is decent.

5.0 will be fine for thin stuff like trim, as soon as you try ripping some 2x material that binds a little you will want one of the bigger batteries. Once you use one in your circular saw you won't want to go back to a 5.0 in that either. There are some promotions now where you buy a certain tool they give you a 8.0 Forge battery for free, might as well take advantage of it you won't be sorry lol!
