Product Description
The HY 4075269 is an onboard 24-volt battery charger for Hyster W40Z and W45Z electric pallet jacks (Hyster model series B218 and C215). It’s a high-quality aftermarket product that serves as a direct replacement for the original charger. Designed for flooded lead-acid batteries only.
This charger delivers the proper charging profile to reliably recharge the pallet jack’s 24V battery pack (typically a pair of 12V industrial batteries). It operates from a 120VAC input, allowing you to plug the pallet jack into any standard wall outlet for charging.
The charger employs a microprocessor-controlled, multi-stage charging algorithm similar to the OEM, which ensures the battery is fully charged without overcharging. When the battery reaches full charge, the unit automatically transitions to a float charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this the same as the charger used in Yale models?
A: Yes. Hyster and Yale pallet jacks often share components. HY 4075269 is equivalent to Yale YL-582031623 and provides the same 24V flooded battery charging profile. Always verify your part number to ensure compatibility.
Q: Will this work if my W45Z has AGM batteries?
A: No. AGM batteries require a charger with a different voltage profile to prevent overcharging. If your jack has AGM batteries, you need the AGM-specific charger (e.g., HY4075488). Check the battery label and your old charger’s part number.
Q: What does the serial number prefix mean?
A: Serial prefixes (like B218 or C215) identify the model and production range. A cutoff serial number usually indicates when Hyster switched to a different charger or battery type. If your serial number is near this cutoff, confirm the correct charger before ordering.
Q: How do I know if my charger is bad?
A: Look for these signs:
No charging or indicator lights don’t change
Randomly starts/stops or requires wiggling cables
Burnt smell, damaged casing, or tripped breakers
Battery constantly undercharged or overcharged
If you see these issues, replace the charger to avoid damaging the battery.
Q: Is installation the same as the Yale charger?
A: Yes. Disconnect the battery and AC power. Remove old charger screws and cables. Mount the new charger using existing holes. Reconnect DC output wires (correct polarity) and plug in the AC cord. Installation is plug-and-play.
Q: Does it come with the AC cord?
A: Yes. The AC input cord and plug are included and pre-attached for immediate use.
Q: What maintenance does it need?
A: Little to none. Keep vents clear of dust, check the AC cord for damage, and keep battery terminals clean for proper voltage sensing. The charger is sealed and has no user-serviceable parts.
Q: Can it run on 240V outlets?
A: No. It only supports 120V AC input. Using 240V will damage the charger. If you need 240V, use a transformer or a compatible charger model.
Q: Can it revive a very dead battery?
A: If the battery voltage is too low (<18V), the charger may not start. Use a manual charger or jump-start method to raise the voltage, then switch to this unit. Severely sulfated batteries may be beyond recovery.
Q: Why is the warranty 90 days?
A: Electronic parts like chargers have shorter warranties because installation errors or misuse can quickly damage them. Most defects appear early. If the charger works well for 90 days, it should last for years.
