Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the current rating and housing color of the CR 78723-008?
A: The CR 78723-008 battery connector is rated for 175 amps and features a blue housing. The blue color differentiates it from the gray CR 78723-003 (175A) and red CR 78723-007 (175A) connectors despite identical amperage ratings.
Q: Which Crown lift truck models use the CR 78723-008 connector?
A: The CR 78723-008 is designed for Crown electric lift trucks requiring 175 amp battery connectors. Verify your specific lift truck model, series, and serial range to confirm compatibility, as socket design and fitment vary across Crown models.
Q: Why are there multiple 175 amp connectors with different colors (CR 78723-003, CR 78723-007, CR 78723-008)?
A: Multiple 175 amp connector options exist because different Crown lift truck models use different socket designs and connectors. Color coding (gray, red, blue) identifies specific Crown models or generations. Verify your exact truck model before ordering to ensure the correct connector.
Q: Can the CR 78723-008 (blue 175A) replace the CR 78723-006 (blue 350A)?
A: No. Although both have blue housing, the CR 78723-008 (175A) cannot replace the CR 78723-006 (350A) in high-amperage circuits. Using a lower-rated connector will cause overheating, damage, and potential safety hazards. Always match the connector rating to the circuit requirement.
Q: Is the CR 78723-008 suitable for continuous 175 amp operation?
A: Yes. The CR 78723-008 is engineered for continuous 175 amp operation in Crown electric lift truck battery applications. Maintain tight connections and inspect regularly for corrosion to ensure reliable performance.
