Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of battery does the CR 084569-174 cable connect to?
A: The CR 084569-174 is a battery cable designed for wet cell batteries commonly used in Crown electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. Wet cell batteries require heavy-gauge cables due to high amp draw during lift and lowering operations.
Q: What Crown pallet jack models use the CR 084569-174 battery cable?
A: The CR 084569-174 fits Crown electric pallet jacks equipped with wet cell battery systems. Verify your equipment uses wet cell rather than sealed AGM batteries before ordering.
Q: What gauge is the CR 084569-174 cable?
A: The CR 084569-174 is a heavy-gauge battery cable rated to handle the high-amperage output of Crown wet cell batteries without voltage drop during normal lift and load operations.
Q: Can I use the CR 084569-174 on an AGM or sealed battery pallet jack?
A: No. The CR 084569-174 is engineered specifically for wet cell battery systems. AGM and sealed batteries have different terminal configurations and amperage requirements. Using this cable on the wrong battery type can cause connection failure.
Q: How often should the CR 084569-174 be inspected?
A: Battery cables on wet cell systems should be inspected monthly for corrosion at terminals, insulation cracks, and loose connections. Wet cell batteries produce corrosive vapor that degrades cable terminals faster than sealed systems.
Q: What causes premature failure of the CR 084569-174?
A: Corroded battery terminals are the primary failure cause for wet cell battery cables. Loose connections cause arcing and heat buildup. Keep terminal connections tight and clean of white or blue-green corrosion buildup to extend cable life to 3 to 4 years.
