2 New Battery Top Handle Chainsaws from ECHO

Power, precision, and professional-grade performance.

ECHO is proud to introduce two new additions to our expanding battery-powered lineup: the DCS-3000T and DCS-3500T. These top handle battery chainsaws are designed specifically for and by professional arborists. We worked with professional arborists to fine-tune these saws, incorporating their feedback through a thorough process of field testing, real-world evaluation, and hands-on refinement.

ECHO DCS-3000T

Torque-first performance in a compact, powerful platform.

The DCS-3000T is all about muscle. Designed to punch far above its weight, this saw delivers surprising torque for its size—making it ideal for removals, take-downs, and slicing through thick wood with ease. Its standout performance makes it the perfect step into battery power for professionals looking to replace or supplement a petrol unit. It's also makes a perfect back-up saw for seasoned arborists.

Key Features:

• High-torque brushless motor: Built to power through tough wood with ease. The torque has been fine tuned to provide ultimate control in the cut.
• Flexible battery compatibility: Choose between a lightweight battery for improved manoeuvrability or a high-power B2P battery for extended, more demanding cuts.
• Compact ergonomic design: Signature ECHO handle with integrated thumb and palm rests for confident control.
• Quick-draw hook: For one handed clipping and unclipping - check out the demo video on the product page.
• Tool-less maintenance: Side access chain tensioner and drop-prevention nuts simplify adjustments on the job.

Where it fits in the range:

The DCS-3000T is a torque-focused, affordable saw that delivers true cutting performance. It sits just below the DCS-3500T in the range, making it ideal as a primary saw for light removals or as a powerful, reliable backup.

ECHO DCS-3500T

Class leading performance and control in the cut.

Engineered with real arborist feedback, the DCS-3500T builds on the strengths of the 3000T but takes performance and power to a new level. It’s powerful yet impressively lightweight, and offers engine like performance in the cut.

Key Features:

• Class-leading performance: Cuts quickly and cleanly, even under heavy load.
• Single-finger throttle lockout system: A standout safety feature that offers instant control and prevents accidental activation.
• Refined ergonomics: From the patented diagonal handle with lanyard hook to the knurled grip, every detail is crafted for safe, confident handling.
• Versatile configurations: Supports bar lengths from 30 to 40 cm and a choice of battery types, letting professionals optimize for weight or power depending on the job.
• Expanded features: Includes a gapless roller chain catcher to prevent rope snags, upgraded felling spikes for precision, and an oil tank with expansion chamber to reduce leaks in storage.

Where it fits in the range:

As ECHO’s flagship battery top handle saw, the DCS-3500T is built for high-frequency professional use.

Engine-Like Power. Battery Freedom.

Both the DCS-3000T and DCS-3500T represent ECHO’s commitment to delivering engine-matching performance with the convenience and cleanliness of battery power. They share compatibility with ECHO’s 56V battery platform—so you can easily swap batteries across your tools and keep working longer.
