                A:  Hi Dennis. Thank you for shopping at The Home Depot. You could use an 18” bar with this chainsaw but you would not want to do it. You would be severely under powering your 14” chainsaw. The 5.0-amp battery may power the 18” bar but you will use up your battery power much faster. The power used is designed for a 14” bar but it will work for a larger/longer bar. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rick_HD_OC

                    Q:What is the operating temperature range for this battery? The 40v battery in my 18" chainsaw keeps overheating and shutting down, sometimes after just 10 minutes of use. Is it because it's so hot outside? If so, that's a problem. Otherwise I love the tool

                                  A:  Yes, the case is included. It holds a quart or bar oil as well (not included). The case is surprisingly well-designed, there is a cool little flip door to open to allow the blade to dropped into the case and be removed again easily. It's quite durable heavy plastic as well.
