Symbol 50-14000-011 PDT-3300 Barcode Scanner Replacement Battery 6V 900mAh

Symbol PDT-3300 / PS200 — 6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (50-14000-011)

This 6V 900mAh Ni-MH battery replaces the original pack in the Symbol PDT-3300 barcode scanner and PS200 terminal. It matches OEM part numbers 50-14000-011, 50-14000-059, 58513-00-00, 58514-00-00, and 61783-00-00. The PDT-3300 is a handheld mobile data terminal used in warehouse pick-and-pack, retail inventory, and point-of-sale scanning workflows.

• PDT-3300 and PS200 fit: Both devices share the same 6V battery bay, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. A single cell format serves both terminals without modification or adapter.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through repeated scan-trigger and wireless radio draw sequences on the PDT-3300. The BMS held stable across the combined inrush load without tripping or dropping voltage below the scanner's minimum operating threshold.
• Cradle charge before first shift: After installing a fresh pack, seat the scanner in its charging cradle and run a full charge cycle before use. The scan trigger inrush current peaks highest when the cell is near minimum charge — a pre-charged cell prevents false BMS trips on the first shift.

Cradle showing a charging error on a new pack

The PDT-3300 cradle reads pack voltage through a set of gold-plated dock contacts on the battery face. Oxidation, dust, or residue on those contacts creates enough resistance to confuse the cradle's charge controller — it reads a bad connection as a fault rather than a new cell. Wipe all contacts on both the battery and the cradle with a dry lint-free cloth, then reseat the scanner firmly until the dock clicks. If the error clears, charging will begin at the cradle's standard 6V charge rate.

Scanner losing wireless connection during rapid scan bursts

During a fast scan sequence, the laser or imager and the wireless radio both draw current at the same time. On a degraded or partially charged Ni-MH cell, that combined inrush pulls voltage low enough for the radio module to drop its connection briefly. The scanner may appear fully functional between bursts, which makes this fault easy to misread as a network issue. Charge the pack to full — 6V resting — before the shift, and the combined draw stays within the cell's delivery range.
