Zebra BTRY-MC33-52MA-01 High-Capacity Replacement Battery
The Zebra BTRY-MC33-52MA-01 is a single 5200 mAh PowerPrecision+ lithium ion battery for the MC3300, MC3300x, and MC3300ax mobile computers. Zebra lists it as the high-capacity option in the MC33 battery lineup, and it also appears in Zebra's accessory guide for the MC3300R/xR Series integrated UHF RFID handhelds.
Order this SKU when you need one spare or replacement battery at the high-capacity tier. For a fleet refresh, the 10-pack (BTRY-MC33-52MA-10) is the same battery in bulk. For longer shifts or device location tracking, choose one of the 7000 mAh options covered below instead.
Key Features & Business Benefits
- 5200 mAh capacity: Sits above the 2740 mAh standard battery and below the 7000 mAh extended battery, so you can match battery size to shift length.
- PowerPrecision+ state of charge and state of health: Reports charge level and battery age based on usage patterns, so IT can retire worn batteries before they cause mid-shift failures.
- Fast charging in MC33 cradles and chargers: Charges in about 3.5 hours in the CRD-MC33-2SUCHG-01 single-slot cradle and the CRD-MC33-4SC4BC-01 four-slot cradle.
- Charges alongside MC32 batteries: The SAC-MC33-4SCHG-01 and SAC-MC33-20SCHG-01 spare chargers accept both MC32xx and MC33 batteries, which simplifies a mixed-fleet battery room.
- Works across MC33 generations: Zebra confirms MC33 PowerPrecision+ batteries are compatible with the MC3300x as an alternative battery option.
- Overcharge protection: Zebra designs the battery to help prevent overcharging.
Choosing the Right Configuration
- BTRY-MC33-52MA-01 (this SKU): One 5200 mAh battery. Best for replacing a single worn battery or adding spares a few at a time.
- BTRY-MC33-52MA-10: Ten 5200 mAh batteries. Best for stocking a battery room or refreshing a fleet in one order.
- BTRY-MC33-70MA-01: 7000 mAh extended-capacity battery. Best for shifts that run longer than a 5200 mAh battery lasts. It charges in about 4.5 hours in the fast-charge cradles.
- BTRY-MC33-7BLE-01: 7000 mAh battery with a BLE beacon. Lets you locate a device even when it's powered off, using Zebra Device Guardian (licenses sold separately). Beaconing works only on MC3300x and MC3300ax devices.
- BTRY-MC33-27MA-01: 2740 mAh standard battery. Best where a lighter device matters more than runtime.

Upgrading from the MC3200
MC33 batteries do not fit MC32 devices. Existing MC32 infrastructure still carries over: the SAC-MC33-4SCHG-01 and SAC-MC33-20SCHG-01 chargers accept MC32xx batteries. The ADP-MC33-CRDCUP-01 adapter cup lets MC33 devices charge in MC30, MC31, and MC32 legacy cradles at the standard rate, with one cup required per slot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BTRY-MC33-52MA-01 fit the MC3300x and MC3300ax?
Yes. Zebra lists the BTRY-MC33-52MA-01 for the MC3300, MC3300x, and MC3300ax.
Should I order the 5200 mAh or the 7000 mAh battery?
Order the BTRY-MC33-52MA-01 if a 5200 mAh battery covers your shifts. Choose the BTRY-MC33-70MA-01 for longer runtime, or the BTRY-MC33-7BLE-01 if you also need to locate powered-off MC3300x or MC3300ax devices.
Will this battery work in my MC3200?
No. MC33 batteries are not compatible with MC32 devices. MC33 spare chargers do accept MC32 batteries, however.
How long does the BTRY-MC33-52MA-01 take to charge?
It charges in about 3.5 hours in the CRD-MC33-2SUCHG-01, CRD-MC33-4SC4BC-01, and SAC-MC33-4SCHG-01. In the SAC-MC33-20SCHG-01 it takes about 5.5 hours at the standard rate.
Is there a bulk pack of this battery?
Yes. BTRY-MC33-52MA-10 contains ten of the same 5200 mAh batteries.
What does PowerPrecision+ report?
PowerPrecision+ reports state of charge and state of health, including charge level and battery age based on usage patterns.
