Product Description
Running a shop that services everything from sedans to service trucks means one charger rarely covers you. The Associated ESS6011 wheel charger switches between 12V and 24V systems, so you're not juggling two machines or turning away work because a battery doesn't match your equipment.
One Charger, Every Battery in the Bay
The ESS6011 handles standard flooded, AGM, gel cell, and spiral/orbital batteries — including Optima batteries — with a simple switch. No more guessing which charger is safe for which battery type, or babysitting a sensitive AGM battery on the wrong setting.
- 12V and 24V charging in a single unit
- 70A/35A charging plus 270A crank assist
- Compatible with AGM, gel, and standard flooded batteries
Rescues Batteries Other Chargers Give Up On
A deeply discharged battery can trip the safety lockout on many "smart" chargers, leaving you stuck. The ESS6011's Dead Battery Override lets you push through and start charging anyway, so a low-voltage battery doesn't mean an automatic trip to the parts counter.
Built-in diagnostics also flag a weak or failing battery before it becomes a comeback complaint. You'll know whether you're looking at a charging issue or a battery that needs to be replaced — before the customer drives off.
Doubles as a Stable Power Supply
Reflashing a module or running extended diagnostics needs steady voltage, not a charger cycling on and off. Switch the ESS6011 into its 70A power supply mode and it holds a consistent 13.7V DC output, so onboard electronics stay stable through the whole procedure.
Built to Live in Your Shop, Not a Closet
This is a heavy-duty, wheeled unit designed for daily use — indoors or out. It's rated "Safe in Any Weather," CSA listed for the US and Canada, and made in the USA, backed by a 3-year warranty. At just under 55 lbs and mounted on its own wheels, it rolls to whatever vehicle needs it instead of the other way around.
If your shop needs one charger that covers cars, trucks, fleets, and everything with a 12V or 24V battery — the ESS6011 is built for exactly that. Add it to your cart and keep every bay running.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ESS6011 work with AGM and gel batteries?
A: Yes. A simple switch lets you safely charge standard flooded, AGM, gel cell, and spiral/orbital batteries, including Optima batteries.
Can I use this charger on both 12V cars and 24V trucks or equipment?
A: Yes. The ESS6011 is a dual-voltage charger, so it handles 12V and 24V systems with the same unit — no need to buy separate chargers for each.
What's the difference between the 70A and 35A settings?
A: The 70A setting is for faster charging on 12V batteries, while 35A is used for 24V charging. The unit also offers a 270-amp crank assist mode to help start a dead battery immediately.
My battery is completely dead — will this charger still work?
A: Yes. The Dead Battery Override feature lets the ESS6011 charge severely discharged batteries that many other smart chargers won't recognize, so you don't need to pre-charge it elsewhere first.
Is it safe to leave this charger running unattended, or use it outdoors?
A: Yes. The ESS6011 is rated "Safe in Any Weather" and CSA listed, making it safe for extended, unattended charging both indoors and outdoors.
