Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 00591-09226-81 and how is it different from the gray SB175 housing?
A: The 00591-09226-81 is an OEM connector housing for SB175 series battery plugs on Toyota electric lift trucks, identical in function and amperage rating (175 amps) to the gray housing. The blue color indicates polarity and prevents cross-connection with incorrect chargers. The color difference is critical for safety and correct operation.
Q: Can I use the blue 00591-09226-81 housing on any lift truck with an SB175 connector?
A: Only if your charger and vehicle system are also keyed for blue SB175 connections. Blue housings are designed for specific polarity configurations. Using the wrong color housing can result in reverse polarity and damage to the charger or vehicle electrical system. Always verify your equipment color coding before ordering.
Q: Is the 00591-09226-81 available from multiple manufacturers?
A: This is the Toyota OEM part number 00591-09226-81. While compatible aftermarket blue SB175 housings may exist from other suppliers, the OEM Toyota part ensures exact fit and correct internal contact alignment. We recommend using the OEM part for warranty and compatibility assurance.
Q: What happens if the blue 00591-09226-81 housing develops a crack?
A: A cracked housing exposes internal contacts to moisture and debris, which causes corrosion and electrical faults. Do not attempt to repair a cracked housing with epoxy or tape. Replace the entire connector assembly immediately to prevent charging failures or electrical hazards.
Q: How do I install the blue 00591-09226-81 housing on my Toyota lift truck?
A: The blue housing assembly typically slides over the internal pin structure and is secured via snap clips or a threaded collar. Turn off the charger and disconnect the vehicle before removal. Internal wiring is crimped or soldered to contact pins inside the housing. If you are unfamiliar with connector assembly, contact a service technician.
