Product Description
Are you tired of chargers that take all night to revive a drained fleet battery? The Associated 6002B heavy duty battery charger is built for shops, fleets, and farms that can't afford downtime. Made in the USA, it handles everything from 6 volt equipment to 24 volt diesel trucks.
Power for Every Vehicle in Your Lineup
Dead batteries cost you time and money. This wheeled charger rolls right up to the job, so you can move from truck to tractor without wrestling batteries onto a bench.
It's a smart fit for:
- Diesel trucks and heavy equipment with large batteries
- Delivery vans, buses, and other fleet vehicles
- Tractors, construction machinery, and farm equipment
- Repair shops that service a mix of voltage systems
One charger for the whole crew means less clutter and fewer purchases.
Need a quick start in a pinch? The crank assist feature gives a weak battery the extra push it needs, so a stalled truck can be back to work sooner.
Made to Handle a Rough Day
Shop floors are tough on equipment. A protective gauge cover keeps the meter safe from knocks and drops. Automatic reset breakers on both the AC and DC sides help a surprise overload from sidelining your charger.
Long cords make life easier too. The 10-foot AC cord and 8-foot DC leads let you park the charger where it's convenient and still reach the battery. A built-in timer lets you set it and get back to work.
Simple, Sturdy, and Backed for Five Years
Heavy duty chargers like this one keep things simple. Fewer delicate electronics mean fewer things to go wrong, and owners often mention the solid clamps and heavy cables.
Every 6002B carries a 5-year limited warranty, plus Battery Mart's easy returns and US-based support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of batteries can the 6002B charge?
A: It charges lead acid batteries in 6, 12, 18, and 24 volt systems, including AGM. When charging an AGM battery, stop the charge between 14.7 and 15.0 volts and follow the battery maker's instructions. The manual doesn't cover lithium batteries, so call us before charging one.
Can I charge a vehicle with two batteries?
A: Yes. Many diesel and service vehicles use two batteries wired in parallel. Expect charging to take twice as long as it would for a single battery. Connect the charger to the battery wired closest to the starter, which gives the starter the most power. If one battery is charged and the other is drained, remove the drained one and have it checked.
Can I charge a 24 volt system made of two 12 volt batteries?
A: Yes. If the batteries are wired in series, use the 24 volt setting to charge both at once. You can also disconnect them and charge each one separately on the 12 volt setting.
How do I use the crank assist feature?
A: Connect the clamps, select the 12 volt crank assist setting, then start the vehicle. Crank assist is meant for short use only, so follow the time limits in the manual.
What's the right order for connecting and charging?
A: Turn the timer to OFF before connecting the clamps. Check the Stop/Go light, set the voltage and charge rate, then turn the timer on. When changing voltage, return the AMPS switch to LO before moving the VOLTS switch.
How do I use the "Stop/Go" light?
A: It checks your clamp connections before you charge. Connect the red clamp to the positive battery post, then touch the black clamp's contact button to the other post. Then read the light:
- Green: The first connection is correct. Go ahead and make the second clamp connection.
- Red: The red clamp is on the wrong post. Move it to the other post and retest.
- Red and green: The charger is on. Turn it off and retest.
- No light: Check for a shorted or open battery, and clean any corrosion from the clamps and posts. If there's still no light, confirm the battery's polarity with a voltmeter, then connect the clamps per the manual.
Is this a "set it and forget it" maintainer?
A: No. The 6002B is a manual charger with a 0 to 120 minute timer that shuts the charger off at the end of your set time. There's also a continuous position for slow or parallel charging, which won't shut off on its own. Don't use it for fast charging, and use a battery maintainer for long-term storage.
