The 12 V power brick for Zebra TC22 / TC27 battery chargers delivers 4.16 A at 50 W. It powers the four-slot battery chargers in the catalogue, not the terminal cradles, which take a separate USB-C supply. Its level VI efficiency rating suits continuous operation in a warehouse or a technical room. It is supplied on its own: the mains cord and the DC cable are ordered separately.

This 12 V brick, not the other one

The catalogue holds two power supplies for Zebra TC22 / TC27 equipment. Here is how to spot this one.

→12 V DC output: that is the first giveaway. The other supply in the catalogue is a variable-voltage USB-C unit.
→Made for battery chargers: it powers the units that take loose batteries, not the cradles that take terminals.
→4.16 A at 50 W: the headroom four charging bays need when they all draw at once.
→Level VI energy efficiency: the highest rating tier in the framework covering external power supplies.
→Works with both chargers: the TC22 / TC27 battery charger and the RFD40 and TC22R one alike.
→Supplied on its own: no mains cord and no DC cable in the box. Both are catalogue references.

12 V DC at 4.16 A: what it delivers

A four-bay charger draws on its source continuously as soon as several batteries come up together. This brick is sized for that duty: a steady 12 V, 4.16 A available, 50 W of usable power.

That headroom avoids the classic failure of improvised setups, where an undersized supply copes with one battery and folds once all four bays are filled. Both the TC22 / TC27 battery charger and the RFD40 and TC22R 4-slot charger call for this power class.

Level VI efficiency for continuous duty

Level VI is the most demanding efficiency tier in the framework covering external power supplies. In practice a smaller share of the energy drawn is lost as heat, which matters on equipment that stays plugged in around the clock.

Two practical consequences. The brick runs cooler, so it ages better in a poorly ventilated technical room. And across a fleet running several chargers, the cumulative draw of a stock management installation stays contained, year after year.

The catalogue's two Zebra power supplies, side by side

One line settles it: look at what you need to power.

Criterion	This 12 V brick	USB-C adapter
Unit powered	Four-slot battery charger	Single-slot terminal charging cradle
Electrical output	12 V DC, 4.16 A, 50 W	USB Power Delivery, 5 V to 20 V

If you are powering a 1-slot charging cradle, the USB-C power adapter is the one you need, not this. The wider range sits under RFID accessories.

Building the full power chain for a battery charger

Three references sit between the wall socket and the charger, and this brick is the middle one. Upstream, the EU mains cord brings mains power to the brick. Downstream, the DC power cable carries 12 V on to the charger. None of the three works without the other two.

Plan one per charger installed. A site rolling out two battery chargers to cover several shifts needs two complete chains, not one brick shared between the units.

And if your fleet mixes terminal families, check which unit you are powering rather than which Zebra TC22 or TC27 terminal you run: the charger dictates the supply, not the handheld. The rest of the range sits under RFID readers.

FAQ

Which units does this power brick supply?▾

The four-slot battery chargers in the catalogue: the one for Zebra TC22 and TC27, and the one for RFD40 and TC22R. It is not intended for terminal charging cradles.

How does it differ from the USB-C power adapter?▾

Output and target unit. This brick delivers 12 V DC to a battery charger. The USB-C adapter delivers variable voltage over Power Delivery to a terminal charging cradle. They are not interchangeable.

Is the mains cord included?▾

No. The brick is supplied on its own. The EU mains cord and the DC power cable are two separate catalogue references, and all three are needed to put a charger into service.

What does level VI energy efficiency mean?▾

It is the most demanding tier in the framework covering external power supplies. A smaller share of the energy drawn is lost as heat, which suits equipment that stays permanently plugged in.

How many bricks for several chargers?▾

One per charger, each with its own cord and DC cable. For volume pricing, our technical team answers through a quotation request.
