PowerCap by Zebra is a powerful supercapacitor that serves as a replacement for the standard PowerPrecision+ battery in the Zebra DS8178 cordless barcode scanner. Thanks to its modern charging and energy storage solution, PowerCap can handle up to 2000 scans on a full charge if it is read on the device approximately once per second. This means that a single charge lasts even during demanding operations in logistics, e-commerce, healthcare, or retail, where scanners are used continuously.
Charging is fast and practical. PowerCap fully charges in approximately 30 minutes via standard USB power. If you need to quickly prepare the device for work, simply charge it for about 90 seconds and you will get enough power for approximately 200 scans. This is the ideal solution for short breaks when there is no time to wait for longer charging. PowerCap differs from a regular battery by its green label and visible stripe, so you can easily recognize it and not mix it in with other rechargeable batteries.
Key features include:
PowerCap is designed to work properly and reliably with the Zebra DS8178 scanner.
For proper operation, the device must be running firmware version CAACXS00-004-R00 or later. If you have an older version, update it before using the capacitor for the first time. PowerCap is a reliable accessory for professional readers that must operate without interruptions and with long battery life in everyday use.
