F3020 Automatic Smart Charger 36V

How long does it take to charge the battery?

The new F3020 Chargers are designed to charge the battery up in 2hrs. Similar to its predecessor, the new charger enables the battery to be charged up to 90% in 1.5Hrs and full charge is achieved in 2Hrs.  

Can the battery remain on the vest while charging?

The new connector plug allows for the battery to charged up while on the vest making it more practical and easier to use.   

How does the Battery Sleep Mode work?

The "Sleep Function" on the charger helps the battery fall in to an extended storage state thus optimizing its storage life. Recharging the battery is no longer required during the off-season. Just press the sleep button once after the pruning season and it does its thing for the next few hours. Once the sleep process is complete, the battery can be stored in its case in a cool, dry place until the following season. 


Wireless DSES Is Now A Standard Feature

Infaco, the manufacturers of the Electrocoups, have always prioritized user safety over the years. A true pioneer in technology, the company has continually invested time and resources in order to ensure an innovative and safe experience for its users operating the Electrocoups.  Today, the all-new Electrocoup F3020 come fitted with the wireless DSES system and is a standard feature on all units.

The Wireless DSES system comprises of a conductive metal trigger enabling a connection between the users body and the pruner's patented electronic system. While operating, if and when the cutting head touches any part of the opposite hand, the pruning shear blade opens instantly thereby preventing accidents.

The Wireless DSES system operates in direct contact with the skin. However, each individual has their own level of conductivity. In order achieve a continuous level of high conductivity and better protection, INFACO recommends the use of its special conductive gloves.

The Wireless DSES system may sometime trigger unintended opens on damp wood, sappy wood or when close to the ground. To prevent this from happening users now have the option of turning OFF & ON the DSES feature when required using the settings button.




Contrary to the wireless system, the wired DSES option requires the user to wear the conductive glove that is physically connected to the handpiece by a power supply cable.  The wired DSES system provides the user the same protection while reducing unintentional opening of the blade because of damp or sappy wood.

Optional Interchangeable Kits : 3 TOOLS IN 1

Similar to its most recent predecessors, Electrocoups remain the only shears in the world with 3 interchangeable heads with adjustable blade opening and DSES safety systems.  One of the tool's main assets is its versatility to use multiple cutting heads. With the options of the Standard Kit, Medium Kit or the Maxi Kit, users can easily swap the heads over in under 5 mins to meet the demands of the cutting application.  Kits are optional and not part of the standard kit. Please ask for details.

Optional Extension Poles For F3020

Infaco's design engineers have completely revolutionized the pole system by creating an ergonomic and innovative solution.  There are 2 different kinds of pole options available with this new model. First option is the pole can be connected to the battery through a cord and the second option is the battery can be plugged in at the bottom of the pole.  Both options have the cord on the sliding handle eliminated and replaced by a more advanced wireless Bluetooth technology making it easy and convenient to use.

Optional Accessories

A48V3 Electric Sharpener

Regular blade sharpening reduces the cutting force exerted on the motor of the Electrocoup and also helps to reduce motor stress. Infaco recommends the use of the optional electric sharpener to help keep the blade profile sharp. Thanks to its 3-pin connector plug, the A48V3 electric sharpener is now compatible with the Electrocoup F3005, F3010, F3015, and F3020 batteries. It saves significant time on daily sharpening and maintains a good cutting profile on the blade.

See video at 1:02 for the A48V3 Electric Sharpener in action.


Carbide Burnisher

The new tungsten carbide burnisher helps maintain a good cutting edge on the blade. A sharp blade guarantees a good clean cut and reduces the risk of spreading wood diseases. In addition to 2 recommended daily sharpening sessions with the stone, it is also advised to use the new Carbide Burnisher to maintain a sharp edge on the blade for a good clean cut.
