Zebra P1063406-133 Car Power Adapter Battery Eliminator Kit
Overview
The Zebra P1063406-133 is a wired car power adapter and battery eliminator kit purpose-built to supply continuous power to Zebra mobile computers and field devices during vehicle operation. The kit connects via a standard automobile cigarette lighter input connector, eliminating reliance on battery power during in-vehicle transit and stationary operations. This is a practical accessory for fleet logistics, delivery operations, field service, and warehouse automation environments where extended device uptime and zero downtime from battery depletion directly impact productivity.
Key Features
- Cigarette Lighter Connector Input: Integrates with any standard 12V automotive power port, eliminating the need for custom wiring or vehicle modification. Works across all vehicle types and model years with a standard lighter socket.
- Battery Eliminator Module: Removes dependency on battery power during vehicle operation, meaning your mobile computer runs at full operational capacity without battery drain. Critical for all-day delivery routes or multi-stop service calls where recharging mid-shift isn't feasible.
- Continuous Power Delivery: Provides uninterrupted power supply whenever the vehicle is running, ensuring no loss of connectivity, scanning, or real-time data transmission. Eliminates the downtime cost of swapping or charging batteries between vehicle stops.
- Straightforward Installation: The standard cigarette lighter connector requires no technical expertise to install. Plug, secure, and route the cable—deployment takes minutes rather than hours.
- Fleet and Logistics Optimization: Reduces per-device battery lifecycle costs by minimizing charge cycles during transport operations. A single device can support multiple shifts without battery degradation concerns for in-vehicle use.
- Compatible with Zebra Mobile Computing Platforms: Designed for integration with Zebra mobile computers and field devices in the Zebra catalog, ensuring proper power regulation and connector compatibility.
Integration & Compatibility
This adapter integrates with Zebra mobile computing platforms requiring vehicle power delivery. The cigarette lighter interface is automotive-standard, so compatibility spans fleet vehicles, service vans, delivery trucks, and any asset with a 12V lighter socket. Installation is straightforward—no proprietary vehicle wiring harnesses, no integration with vehicle networks. The battery eliminator module ensures stable power delivery even during engine start or electrical load spikes typical in commercial vehicles.
Suitable for fleet management, delivery, field service, and logistics operations where continuous power availability enhances productivity and eliminates battery downtime. Common deployments include route optimization platforms, inventory scanning during multi-stop delivery routes, and field service ticket management on service trucks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the P1063406-133 compatible with all Zebra mobile computers?
A: The adapter is designed for Zebra mobile computing platforms requiring vehicle power delivery. Verify your specific device model with Zebra documentation or your integration partner to confirm connector and power requirements match.
Q: Can I use this adapter in any vehicle?
A: Yes. Any vehicle with a standard 12V cigarette lighter socket can use the P1063406-133. No custom wiring or vehicle modification is required.
Q: Does the kit eliminate the need for a battery entirely?
A: During vehicle operation, yes. The battery eliminator module supplies continuous power when the vehicle is running. Remove the adapter when the vehicle is parked or powered off to restore battery operation.
Q: What happens if the vehicle's power supply drops or spikes?
A: The battery eliminator module regulates power delivery to protect connected mobile computers from electrical surges or dips common in vehicle environments. However, if the vehicle power is lost entirely, the adapter cannot supply power.
Q: Is there a warranty on the P1063406-133?
A: Warranty information is available from Zebra or your specialty distributor. Verify current terms before purchase.
Q: Can I leave this adapter plugged in when the vehicle is off?
A: No. Do not leave the adapter connected to the cigarette lighter when the vehicle is parked or engine off to avoid draining the vehicle battery. Disconnect the adapter when the vehicle is not in operation.

I'm Ted Perry, and while I usually focus on NVR storage, I've deployed plenty of mobile scanning systems in warehouses and vehicle fleets. The P1063406-133 is a straightforward battery eliminator—it keeps your Zebra mobile computer alive during transport without draining the onboard battery. For delivery routes, field service vans, or yard operations where your device spends hours in the vehicle between stops, this eliminates mid-shift battery swaps and keeps your scanner at full capacity when you need it.
One watch-out: verify your specific Zebra mobile computer model is listed as compatible before you order. Zebra uses different power connectors and voltage requirements across their mobile computing line, and this kit is purpose-built for certain models. Check the compatibility chart or reach out to us with your device model number—we'll confirm fitment. Also, if your vehicle's ignition cuts accessory power when the engine is off, the device will switch back to battery, so plan your workflow accordingly. It's a simple install, but compatibility confirmation up front saves you a return trip.
