HOUSING (SB350 RED)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment uses the 66-0114 red housing?
A: The 66-0114 is a red colored housing for SB350 series battery chargers installed on electric lift trucks, pallet jacks, and tow tractors from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and other major manufacturers. Red housing typically indicates a specific power class or operational designation within a fleet.
Q: Are the 66-0111, 66-0113, and 66-0114 housings mechanically identical?
A: Yes, all three housings have identical mechanical specifications and fit the same SB350 charger base. The only difference is color. You can substitute one for another without altering charger function, though this should only be done for replacement, not routine color changes.
Q: What is the expected service life of the 66-0114 housing?
A: Under normal warehouse operating conditions, the red housing will last 5 to 10 years or longer. Lifespan depends on environmental exposure, thermal cycling from the charger, and physical handling. Proper ventilation around the charger extends housing life by reducing heat stress.
Q: Why would a housing fail prematurely?
A: Housing failure is typically caused by impact or drop damage, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, contact with corrosive chemicals, or inadequate ventilation causing thermal stress on the resin. Manufacturing defects are rare if sourced from authorized suppliers.
