Zebra WA3025 Li-Ion 2850 mAh Replacement Battery for WorkAbout Pro
Overview
The Zebra WA3025 is the factory-designated Li-Ion battery for the WorkAbout Pro 4 (WAP4) rugged mobile computer — a purpose-built, 2850 mAh cell engineered to the same specification as the original unit that shipped with the device. If your WAP4 fleet is losing charge capacity through normal cycle aging, or if you need a spare battery to extend shift coverage without returning units to a charging station, the WA3025 is the direct replacement to source. Zebra's own battery accessory documentation lists the WA3025 as the matched battery part number for the WAP4 platform, with full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and UN 38.3 transport test report on file — relevant if your procurement or logistics team handles hazmat documentation for Li-Ion shipments.
Key Features
- 2850 mAh Li-Ion cell: At 2850 mAh, this battery is sized for extended shift use on the WorkAbout Pro 4 platform. Li-Ion chemistry maintains a relatively flat discharge curve compared to older NiMH designs, meaning the device runs at consistent performance levels rather than degrading gradually as the charge depletes.
- Manufacturer-matched part number: The WA3025 is the exact battery part number listed by Zebra for the WAP4 in their accessory battery documentation — no guesswork on fitment or connector compatibility. This matters in managed fleets where procurement and device management teams need verified OEM-matched replacements, not generic alternatives.
- UN 38.3 tested: Zebra maintains a UN 38.3 transport test report (BTRY_WA3025_UN38.3_Report.pdf) for this cell. If your organization ships devices with batteries installed — including for depot repair or cross-site deployment — having the proper UN 38.3 documentation on file simplifies compliance with IATA and DOT hazmat shipping requirements.
- SDS documentation available: A Safety Data Sheet (BTRY_WA3025_SDS.pdf) is on file from Zebra. Relevant for facilities with chemical inventory requirements or EHS compliance programs that track Li-Ion battery stock.
Integration & Compatibility
The WA3025 is confirmed compatible with the WorkAbout Pro 4 (WAP4) platform per Zebra's battery accessory reference documentation. The product is also marketed under the WorkAbout Pro 2 and 3 designation in the product title — verify compatibility with your specific WAP generation against Zebra's accessory guide before ordering if deploying on WAP2 or WAP3 hardware. For WAP4 deployments, WA3025 is the directly listed replacement. A higher-capacity variant, the WA3026, also appears in Zebra's battery documentation for the WAP4 platform — if maximum shift runtime is the priority and your charging infrastructure can accommodate the potentially larger form factor, review the WA3026 specifications against your WAP4 hardware before ordering.

This battery is a direct fit for rugged mobile computer fleets running the WAP4, commonly deployed in warehouse receiving, field service, and industrial data collection environments where shift-length battery life directly impacts worker productivity and device availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the WA3025 the correct battery for the WorkAbout Pro 4?
A: Yes. Zebra's battery accessory documentation lists WA3025 as the matched battery part number for the WAP4 (WorkAbout Pro 4) platform.
Q: What is the capacity of the WA3025 battery?
A: The WA3025 is a 2850 mAh Li-Ion cell.
Q: Is there a higher-capacity alternative for the WorkAbout Pro 4?
A: Yes. The WA3026 is also listed in Zebra's battery documentation for the WAP4 platform. Review Zebra's accessory specifications to confirm form-factor and runtime differences before selecting.
Q: Does the WA3025 have UN 38.3 test documentation for hazmat shipping compliance?
A: Yes. Zebra maintains a UN 38.3 transport test report (BTRY_WA3025_UN38.3_Report.pdf) and a Safety Data Sheet (BTRY_WA3025_SDS.pdf) for this battery, which can support IATA and DOT Li-Ion shipping compliance requirements.
Q: Does the WA3025 work with WorkAbout Pro 2 or 3 devices?
A: The product is marketed for WorkAbout Pro 2, 3, and 4. Zebra's accessory documentation confirms WAP4 compatibility. Verify against Zebra's accessory guide for WAP2 or WAP3 compatibility before ordering.
The WA3025 is the kind of part that does its job invisibly until you don't have it — at 2850 mAh Li-Ion, it's the factory-spec cell for the WAP4 platform, and when a battery in your fleet hits end-of-life cycle count, this is the straight replacement without any fitment questions.
Technical Highlights:
- 2850 mAh capacity: Sized for the WorkAbout Pro 4's power envelope — sufficient for extended shift use in industrial data collection without mid-shift swaps in most moderate-duty scan cycles.
- Li-Ion chemistry: Flat discharge curve means WAP4 performance stays consistent through most of the charge cycle rather than degrading linearly — better user experience than older NiMH-era rugged device batteries.
- UN 38.3 documentation on file: Zebra maintains the transport test report for the WA3025, which matters if your logistics team ships devices battery-installed across state or international lines under IATA DGR or DOT 49 CFR hazmat rules.
Deployment Considerations:
- If your WAP4 fleet runs double shifts or high-scan-rate workflows, consider stocking WA3026 alongside the WA3025 — the WA3026 is also listed for WAP4 in Zebra's battery docs and may offer higher capacity; compare specs before committing to a spare battery SKU.
- Confirm WAP2 and WAP3 compatibility directly against Zebra's accessory guide before bulk-ordering the WA3025 for mixed-generation fleets — the evidence firmly confirms WAP4, but the WAP2/WAP3 claim in the product title warrants verification.
The WA3025 is the right stock item for warehouse operations or field service depots running WAP4 devices on rotating shifts — keep spares in the charging station rotation so no unit sits dead waiting for a charge cycle to complete.
