Zebra SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01 1-Slot Battery Charger
Overview
The Zebra SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01 is a single-slot battery charger engineered for Zebra mobile computers deployed in warehouse, logistics, and last-mile delivery environments. This accessory charges ZQ5 and ZQ6 devices one at a time, making it suited for operations where staff rotate devices between shifts or need opportunistic charging throughout the workday. The charger ships with a US power adapter included, eliminating the need to source a compatible power supply separately.
Key Features
- Single-Slot Design: Charges one device at a time, reducing footprint on warehouse workbenches or office desks — practical for tight staging areas where multi-slot cradles aren't feasible.
- ZQ5 and ZQ6 Compatibility: Works exclusively with Zebra ZQ5 and ZQ6 mobile computers, ensuring proper contact alignment and power delivery without risk of cross-device damage.
- Integrated Power Adapter: Includes a US-compatible power adapter in the box, so deployment doesn't depend on sourcing wall power separately — faster time to deployment.
- Field-Portable Footprint: Single-slot form factor keeps the charger compact enough to move between locations, useful in multi-location warehouse or delivery operations where devices rotate across sites.
Integration & Compatibility
The SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01 integrates directly into existing Zebra ZQ5 and ZQ6 deployments. No driver installation or software configuration is required — plug in the power adapter and dock the device. This charger is a straightforward replacement or supplemental charging station for operations already committed to the Zebra mobile computer ecosystem. Consider this model if your operation requires single-device charging at multiple locations (e.g., handheld scanner charger at pick stations, packing lines, or hub areas). For higher-throughput environments where you need to charge multiple devices simultaneously, consult Zebra's multi-slot charging options within the same product family.
When to Choose a Different Model
If your warehouse or logistics operation needs to charge four or more devices in parallel during shift changes, a multi-slot Zebra charging cradle will reduce turnaround time and save space per device charged. Similarly, if you operate in international markets outside the US, verify that the included power adapter matches your local wall outlet standard before ordering the SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01 work with any Zebra mobile computer models other than ZQ5 and ZQ6?
A: No. This charger is designed exclusively for ZQ5 and ZQ6 models. Using it with incompatible devices risks damage to both the charger and the device.
Q: Is the power adapter included, or do I need to purchase it separately?
A: The US power adapter is included with the SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01. No additional purchase needed for North American deployments.
Q: Can I charge more than one device at the same time with this charger?
A: No. The SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01 is a single-slot charger and will charge only one device at a time.
Q: Is this charger suitable for international use?
A: The SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01 ships with a US power adapter. If you operate outside North America, confirm that the adapter voltage and plug type match your local standard, or contact the distributor for international power adapter options.
Q: What is the typical charging time for a ZQ5 or ZQ6 battery?
A: Refer to the individual device manual for ZQ5 and ZQ6 battery specifications. Charging time depends on battery capacity and device charge state.

The Zebra SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01 is a no-frills accessory that solves a specific logistics problem: single-location device charging without the cost or footprint of a multi-slot cradle. If your warehouse has a dozen pick stations and each needs opportunistic charging capability during the shift, buying one of these for each location is cheaper and smarter than over-provisioning a four-slot cradle at every station.
Technical Highlights:
- Single-Slot Architecture: Eliminates shared power rails and contact complexity — one device, one charger contact set. Lower failure risk than multi-slot units, and faster replacement if the charger fails.
- Included US Power Adapter: Saves integration time on day one. No hunting for a compatible wall supply or waiting for a separate order. Plug, dock, charge.
- ZQ5 and ZQ6 Exclusive Compatibility: Prevents accidental use with wrong device models. Contact geometry is fixed; no cross-device risk.
Deployment Considerations:
- This charger is a companion device, not a standalone solution. If you're scaling to 20+ charging locations, cost-per-unit adds up fast — budget accordingly and consider whether a smaller number of high-capacity multi-slot cradles might reduce total deployment cost.
- Single-slot design means shift-change charging becomes a bottleneck if more than one device needs power at the same time. In high-velocity environments (e.g., last-mile pickup hubs), one charger per three to five devices is typical pacing.
Deploy the SAC-MPP-1BCHGUS1-01 at peripheral warehouse locations — packing lines, loading docks, handheld scanner staging areas — where device turnaround is steady but simultaneous multi-device charging isn't critical. Pair it with a centralized multi-slot cradle for main hub charging, and you'll optimize both cost and device availability.
