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

2. To ensure 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. (See
gure 3.3.1)

you can choose the battery type, reserve charging
time, and adjust the maximum charging voltage and
current. (See gure 3.3.2)
4. If the DIY Mode couldn'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. (See
gure 3.3.3)

SECTION 5
FAQ
Q: How to select the charging mode?
A: 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.
Q: Will TB6000Pro stop charging automatically after the
battery is fully charged?
A: 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.
Q: Can TB6000Pro charge multiple batteries
simultaneously?
A: 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.
Q: Is REPAIR mode applicable to all battery types?
A: No, it can't be used for lithium batteries. However, it is
applicable to all types of lead-acid batteries.
Q: Why can't some batteries be used normally after
repair?
A: Please consult the battery manufacturer whether the
battery is completely damaged and whether it can be
repaired.
Q: Why can't some batteries be charged?
EN I 22

A: 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.
