Product Description
One Battery Tester for Your Entire Fleet
There is no need to switch between different tools for cars, trucks, buses, and heavy equipment. The Associated 6036B-24 carbon pile load tester handles 6-, 12-, and 24-volt batteries all in one unit. With a 1000-amp capacity, it gives fleet shops and battery distributors a simple way to test every battery that comes through the door.
Includes 24-Volt Testing
Larger vehicles and commercial equipment rely on 24-volt systems. If your current tester only handles up to 12 volts, testing those batteries takes longer or forces you to turn work away. The 6036B-24 lets you test 24-volt systems directly so you can handle every job in-house.
Accurate Results Under Actual Load
A standard voltmeter only checks voltage, which means a bad battery can still look fine until it goes to work. A true load test places a real electrical demand on the battery to show how it performs under actual conditions. This gives you clear answers when deciding whether to charge, replace, or honor a warranty return.
Simple, Daily Operation
Designed for straightforward use on the shop floor:
- Test incoming stock, customer returns, and fleet vehicles with one unit
- Avoid software updates, menus, and digital screens with easy-to-read analog gauges
- Adjust the load easily with a simple manual knob
Easy to Move Around the Shop
At 32 pounds, the tester sits comfortably on a workbench. For busy shops and battery rooms, you can add the optional Associated 6038C heavy-duty cart (sold separately) to roll the unit directly to the vehicle or battery rack.
Durable Construction
Shop equipment needs to handle daily wear and tear. The 6036B-24 is built with heavy-duty components to deliver reliable, long-term service in demanding environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the 6036B and the 6036B-24?
A: The 6036B-24 has all the same features as the 6036B, plus 24 volt battery testing capacity. If you only test 6V and 12V batteries, the standard 6036B may be all you need.
Do I have to switch scales to test a 24V battery?
A: No. The dual-scale meter uses an automatic ranging circuit to switch to the right scale for 6, 12, or 24 volt batteries. Just connect the clamps and follow the operator's manual for the test steps.
How long can I hold the load on a battery?
A: The clamps are rated for 1000 amps for 15 seconds, so apply the load in short bursts. The built-in fan helps the tester cool between tests.
Does it print or save test results?
A: No. This is an analog tester with a 6" ammeter (0-1000 amps), so you read the results on the gauges. If you need printouts or saved results, browse our digital battery analyzers.
Does the cart come with the tester?
A: No. The Associated 6038C heavy-duty cart is optional and sold separately. It adds wheels for moving the tester around your shop or battery room.
