Battery connectors and plugs join the forklift battery to the truck and charger. They come in SB/SBE/SBS housings sized by current (e.g. SB175, SB350) and color-coded by voltage. ForkliftIQ supplies connectors and contacts for Heli, Hangcha, EP, Toyota, Linde, Jungheinrich, Hyster, Crown and other major brands.
Choosing connectors
Match the housing size (current rating), the contact gauge (cable size) and the color (voltage keying) on both the battery and truck/charger side. Worn or burnt contacts cause heat and power loss — replace in pairs.
Parts grade — OEM, aftermarket & economy
| Grade | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| OEM / Genuine | Original manufacturer part number | Warranty & critical components |
| Branded Aftermarket | Reputable replacement brands (Curtis, EVE, etc.) | Best value + reliability |
| Economy / OE-equivalent | Cost-optimized equivalent | Budget & wear items |
Grades are indicative; we confirm the exact match against your part number or nameplate photo.
Compatibility & cross-reference
We cross-reference forklift battery connectors, plugs and contacts by OEM part number, voltage and forklift model. Send your brand, model, serial number and the number stamped on the old part (or a photo) and we confirm the correct replacement before quoting. A full OEM ↔ aftermarket cross-reference table is being added to each part page.
| Send us | Why |
|---|---|
| Brand + model + serial | Narrows to the exact spec for your truck |
| OEM part number / nameplate photo | Direct cross-reference to replacement |
