2025 ECHO DCS-5000 -18C2 - 5.0Ah Battery & Standard Charger

2025 ECHO DCS-5000-18C2: Cordless Cutting Power with an 18-Inch Bar

The ECHO DCS-5000-18C2 is a rear-handle cordless chainsaw package designed for property maintenance, storm cleanup, firewood preparation and general tree work. Part of ECHO’s 56V eFORCE platform, it combines a brushless electric motor with an 18-inch guide bar, providing practical cutting capacity without the fuel mixing, exhaust emissions or pull-starting associated with a gasoline saw.

56V eFORCE Performance

The brushless motor delivers responsive power while reducing routine powertrain maintenance. Starting is straightforward, and the battery-powered design keeps noise and vibration manageable for work around homes, cottages and other noise-sensitive locations. This package includes a 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery and standard charger, creating a complete entry point into ECHO’s compatible 56V cordless system.

Made for Property and Woodlot Work

With its familiar rear-handle layout and cordless convenience, the DCS-5000 suits homeowners, acreage operators and professionals who need a capable saw for intermittent cutting tasks. Instant electric starting eliminates warm-up time, while the absence of gasoline simplifies storage and day-to-day preparation. The 18-inch configuration gives the saw broad versatility, from pruning larger branches to bucking logs and clearing fallen timber.
