Safety Cautions

For your safety, and the safety of others, and to avoid any damage to the product and your vehicle, carefully read and make sure you fully understand this manual’s safety instructions in its entirety. You must read the vehicle’s service manual, and the battery manufacturer’s specific safeguards, and observe the stated precautions or instructions before and during any test or service procedure.

ONLY OPERATE TESTS IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA since the vehicle produces carbon monoxide when the engine is running.
ALWAYS WEAR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION to prevent damage from sharp objects and/or caustic liquids.
ALWAYS BE AWARE OF MOVING PARTS (such as coolant fans, pulleys, belts, etc.) since they spin or turn at high speeds when the engine is running.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT ENGINE PARTS to prevent severe burns. The motor’s parts can get extremely hot when the engine is running.
ALWAYS SHIFT THE GEAR TO PARK (FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) OR TO NEUTRAL (FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AND MAKE SURE THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED.
ALWAYS USE A DIGITAL MULTIMETER WITH AT LEAST 10 MEGAOHMS OF IMPEDANCE when conducting electrical tests on vehicles to prevent damage to onboard electronic components.
DO NOT SMOKE ANYWHERE NEAR THE VEHICLE when testing. The fuel and battery vapors are highly flammable.
DO NOT CUT THE PRODUCT’S CORDS OR SUBMERGE THEM IN WATER. The product is an electrical device that can cause shock and severe burns.
WARNING: Battery acid is extremely corrosive. If acid gets into your eyes, RINSE THEM THOROUGHLY WITH COLD RUNNING WATER FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, WASH IT IMMEDIATELY WITH A SOLUTION OF WATER AND BAKING SODA.

Charging Phases

Refer to the graphic on the next page.

Check the battery’s initial state, voltage, state of charging, and state of health to ensure the stability of the battery before charging.
Charge the battery with a pulse current to break down the sulfates that have built up over time in the aging battery to extend life.
Charge the battery with low current to prepare for high-current charging.
Charge the battery with three stages of constant current that gradually rise to optimize charging.
Charge the battery with a preset current until it reaches 80%.
Trickle charge the battery until it reaches 90%.
Remain the voltage at the preset value until the charging current drops to 12.5% of the maximum value and keep charging the power to 95%.
Charge at 12.5% of the preset maximum current until the battery is charged to 100%.
Check if the voltage is lower than the preset value. If it is turn back to step 8.

Standalone Charging Mode

When TB6000Pro is connected to the power supply, the charging modes will keep flashing. Press the Mode Switch Button to toggle between the modes. Once you’ve selected the mode, press twice quickly to confirm the charging mode. After the confirmation, it will automatically start the charging process from step one.

Bluetooth Charging Mode

Once you’ve confirmed the preparation steps are done, plug the adapter into a wall outlet and attach the clamps to the battery terminals. Open the TB6000Pro, tap the Smart Charging/Quick Charging.

Smart Charging:

Under this mode, a battery test is automatically performed before and after charging. Simply enter basic battery information and select the desired charging mode, then tap Start charging. A charging report will be automatically generated during the process.

Note:

Smart Charging is only applicable to 12V lead-acid batteries (Li-ion or 6V batteries are not supported).
To ensure the accuracy of test results, only use the battery clamps to connect to the battery terminals under Smart Charging mode.

Quick Charging:
Under this mode, 6 charging modes are available, as well as DIY Mode. You can choose the preset charging mode to charge directly or customize the charging mode according to the condition of the battery.

Tap “add mode”, you will see the left screen on the image below. Here you can choose the battery type, reserve charging time, and adjust the maximum charging voltage and current. If the DIY Mode doesn’t meet your needs, you can select the Expert Mode. In which, you can customize the charging mode even further. Meet your charging requirements by setting the voltage, current, duration, and number of cycles for each charging step.

Conducting Battery Test

The battery testing function is only applicable to 12V lead-acid batteries. Only use the battery clamps to connect to the battery terminals when conducting a battery test.
First, tap Test Management, then tap Battery Test. Select the corresponding battery type. The specific battery type is usually listed on the battery label. Select the corresponding battery standard. The specific battery standard will also be listed on the battery label.
Refer to the following table for specific battery standards and test ranges. The battery tester will test each battery according to the selected system and rating.

Next, input the battery capacity value and tap Battery Test to start the test. After several seconds, the test result will be displayed. To conduct a cranking test or charging text, please follow the on-screen instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to select the charging mode?
Please select the charging mode according to the battery type and capacity. We recommend that the current value should not be greater than 20% of the battery capacity value. For example, for a 20Ah battery, we recommend that the current is not greater than 4A.
Will TB6000Pro stop charging automatically after the battery is fully charged?
Yes. TB6000Pro adopts 9-step smart charging. When the battery is fully charged, it will automatically stop charging without the risk of overcharging. If you still leave the battery connected, the charger will keep monitoring the battery status and will automatically start charging when the battery voltage falls below its target threshold.
Can TB6000Pro charge multiple batteries simultaneously?
Yes. Please correctly connect these batteries in series or parallel before charging. If you have questions about the connection, you can consult the battery manufacturer or contact us for help.
Is REPAIR mode applicable to all battery types?
No, it can’t be used for lithium batteries. However, it is applicable to all types of lead-acid batteries.
Why can’t some batteries be used normally after repair?
Please consult the battery manufacturer whether the battery is completely damaged and whether it can be repaired.
Why can’t some batteries be charged?
Generally, a 12V battery with a voltage lower than 8.5V is damaged and cannot be charged normally. If the battery is damaged or Er4 error is reported, you can select the 12V Supply mode to recover battery charging.
Why does battery voltage drop to about 13V after it is charged to above 14V (or when charging stops)?
The voltage of a fully charged 12V lead-acid battery is between 12.8V and 13.4V. For effective charging, the battery voltage will reach between 14V and 14.4V during charging time. Therefore, battery voltage will drop to about 12.8V to 13.4V when charging stops (or when charging enters Step 9). After the battery is fully charged, the charger will resume charging with a small current if the battery voltage is detected to drop to 12.8V. You can also change the resume charging voltage of the Lead-acid Battery mode in Step 9 of the Expert Mode.
The TB6000Pro Bluetooth cannot be found or connected?
Check if the Bluetooth icon on the charger screen flashes. If it flashes, turn on Location Services and Bluetooth on your phone (which is necessary for getting the available Bluetooth devices). Then open the app and tap the Bluetooth icon to establish connection. If it remains still, the charger has been connected to another device.
