Symbol MC1000 Barcode Scanner Replacement Battery BTRY-MC10EAB00 3.7V 1800mAh Li-ion

Symbol MC1000 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (BTRY-MC10EAB00)

This is a 3.7V, 1800mAh Li-ion battery for the Symbol MC1000 handheld barcode scanner. It fits the MC1000-KH0LA2U0000, MC1000-KU0LA2U000R, MC1000-KU0LA2U000R-KIT, and related MC1000 variants. The OEM part number is BTRY-MC10EAB00.

• MC1000 series compatibility: All MC1000 variants share the same 3.7V battery bay, contact layout, and BMS handshake protocol — this pack slots into any unit in that family without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through scan trigger inrush events and sustained wireless polling loads. The BMS held cutoff thresholds in line with Symbol spec and did not trip under combined radio and imager draw.
• First-shift preparation: After installing this pack, seat the scanner in its charging cradle and run a full charge cycle before putting it into pick-and-pack. Scan trigger inrush is highest when the cell is near minimum voltage — a fully charged cell prevents false BMS trips on the opening shift.

Cradle showing a charging error on a new pack

The MC1000 cradle reads battery state through the contact pins on the base of the pack. If contact resistance is too high — from dust, oils, or a misaligned seating — the dock interprets it as a fault and flags a charging error rather than starting a charge cycle. This is not a defective battery. Remove the pack, wipe the gold contact strips on both the battery and the cradle slot with a dry cloth, reseat firmly until the pack clicks, and check that the charge LED changes state within 30 seconds.

Scanner loses wireless connection during rapid scan bursts

The MC1000 draws simultaneously from the imager and the wireless radio during a fast scan sequence. When the cell is below roughly 3.5V, that combined inrush can cause a momentary voltage sag that the BMS reads as an under-voltage condition, dropping the radio link to protect the cell. The fix is to not run the pack below the 20% charge indicator before reseating in the cradle. If dropouts are happening mid-shift on a new pack, charge to full and retest — a pack that has never been fully initialised will sag earlier than a properly conditioned one.
