How to choose scanner and terminal accessories
Compatibility with your model. An accessory is usually made for a specific model series, so check the exact device name rather than the manufacturer alone. Most accessories in our range are for Zebra devices, and there are a few for HP, Plustek, Fujitsu and Ingenico equipment.
What it is for. A spare battery or charging cradle is needed if the terminal works a full shift and cannot stay plugged into a cable. A holster, belt clip or hand strap helps when staff are constantly on the move and scan with one hand.
Working environment. Warehouses mean drops and dust, so a sturdy case and screen protector are worth having. In cold storage batteries drain faster, so a spare set is needed sooner than in an ordinary office.
Number of devices. A single-slot cradle is enough for one scanner, but a fleet of a few dozen terminals is easier to manage with a multi-slot charging rack, so everything is stored and charged in one place after a shift. Some cradles also transfer data, so read the product description carefully.

Frequently asked questions about scanner and terminal accessories
What accessories does a barcode scanner need?
Most scanners need a charging cradle or cable, and a spare battery is worth having if the device works a full shift. For handheld use, add a case or belt holster. A wireless scanner also needs a suitable stand or holder.
Do Zebra accessories fit devices from other manufacturers?
Usually not. Accessories are designed for specific model series, so even different generations from the same manufacturer can have different connectors and body shapes. Before buying, compare your model name with the list of compatible models in the product description.
Is it worth buying an original battery?
Yes, for batteries and power supplies it is better to choose the models the manufacturer specifies. An unsuitable cell may lose capacity sooner or work poorly with the device's charging controller. Cases and holders have fewer restrictions, but the dimensions still need to match.
What is the difference between a charging cradle and a cable?
A cradle lets you set the device down and start charging in one movement, without plugging in a connector, which suits frequently used terminals. A cable is simpler and handy when travelling or as a backup. For larger fleets, multi-slot cradles are usually the better choice.
