Frequently Asking Questions(FAQ)

Q1: How do I choose the right current rating (80A, 160A, or 320A) for my electric forklift?
A: Select based on your forklift’s battery capacity and charger power. Generally:

• 80A for small/light-duty forklifts (<2.5 ton)
• 160A for standard 2-3.5 ton forklifts (most common)
• 320A for heavy-duty or large battery systems (>4 ton). Always choose a rating with 20-30% safety margin.

Q2: What cable size (AWG) should I use with this connector?
A: Follow the recommended wire range:

• 80A: 6AWG – 4AWG
• 160A: 4AWG – 2AWG
• 320A: 1/0AWG – 2/0AWG

Using the correct cable size is critical to prevent overheating and ensure safety.

Q5: What is the difference between this REMA connector and Anderson connectors?
A: REMA (DIN type) uses distinct male and female halves with a handle on the female side, making it easier for high-current disconnection. Anderson connectors are genderless. They are not interchangeable — choose REMA if your forklift originally uses DIN/European style connectors.
