Replace a Worn Scanner Battery Without Replacing the Scanner
A cordless barcode scanner can remain fully functional while its rechargeable battery gradually loses capacity, shuts down unexpectedly, or no longer holds enough charge for a normal work shift. The Symbol 82-67705-01 is a rechargeable 3.6V 700mAh Ni-MH battery pack used with compatible Symbol/Motorola/Zebra cordless barcode scanners. The part number is cross-referenced with BTRY-LS42RAAOE-01, and available replacement-battery documentation identifies it with the Symbol LS4278 and LS4278-M, Motorola/Symbol DS6878 and DS6878-SR, and Symbol LI4278 platforms. This makes the exact battery part number a more reliable replacement reference than choosing a scanner battery only by voltage or physical appearance.
Application Scenarios
This battery is designed for cordless barcode-scanning environments where a removable rechargeable battery is needed to keep compatible scanners in service. Typical uses include retail checkout stations, warehouses, inventory operations, shipping areas, point-of-sale workstations, and other barcode-scanning applications using compatible Symbol/Motorola/Zebra handheld scanners. For a replacement order, the most important check is the battery part number and scanner model. A generic 3.6V Ni-MH battery is not necessarily interchangeable because the housing, connector, cell configuration, and charging characteristics must also match the scanner.

A technical specification sheet for a replacement designed around OEM 82-67705-01 identifies the battery as a 3.6V, 700mAh Ni-MH pack and gives approximate dimensions of 44.15 × 21.0 × 19.7mm for that replacement configuration. Because aftermarket housing dimensions can vary slightly, the scanner model and original battery part number should remain the primary compatibility checks.
OEM Replacement Compatibility
This battery is cross-referenced with:
- Symbol 82-67705-01
- Motorola/Symbol BTRY-LS42RAAOE-01
- Symbol BTRY-LS42RAAOE-01
The available replacement references consistently associate these identifiers with the LS4278/DS6878 battery platform.
Compatible Devices
- Symbol LS4278
- Symbol LS4278-M
- Symbol LI4278
- Symbol DS6878
- Symbol DS6878-SR
The above models are supported by multiple replacement-battery references for 82-67705-01. The CR0078-S and CR0078-P are charging/communication cradles for compatible scanner systems, not devices into which the 82-67705-01 battery is directly installed. They should therefore not be presented as battery-compatible device models.
Replacement & Battery-Life Logic
A scanner battery normally becomes a replacement candidate when operating time is significantly shorter than before, the scanner repeatedly shuts down during normal use, or the battery no longer retains enough charge for its intended operating period. For this part, match the scanner model and 82-67705-01 / BTRY-LS42RAAOE-01 identifier before installation. Do not select another battery solely because it is rated at 3.6V. Ni-MH packs with different dimensions, connectors, or internal configurations may not fit or charge correctly in the scanner. The battery should also be charged using the scanner's compatible charging cradle or approved charging system. The cradle supplies the charging interface; the 82-67705-01 is the replaceable battery pack installed in the cordless scanner.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Symbol 82-67705-01?
It is a rechargeable 3.6V 700mAh Ni-MH battery pack used with compatible Symbol/Motorola cordless barcode scanners, including the LS4278 and DS6878 families.
Which scanners use the 82-67705-01 battery?
Reliable replacement references identify Symbol LS4278, LS4278-M and LI4278, along with Motorola/Symbol DS6878 and DS6878-SR, as compatible scanner platforms.
Is BTRY-LS42RAAOE-01 the same replacement reference?
Yes. Multiple battery references cross-reference BTRY-LS42RAAOE-01 with Symbol/Motorola part number 82-67705-01.
What are the voltage and capacity?
The commonly documented specification for the 82-67705-01 replacement battery is 3.6V and 700mAh using Ni-MH chemistry.
Is the CR0078-S cradle the same product?
No. CR0078-S and CR0078-P are scanner charging/communication cradles. The 82-67705-01 is the rechargeable battery installed in the scanner itself.
The Symbol 82-67705-01 is a 3.6V 700mAh rechargeable Ni-MH battery pack for compatible cordless barcode scanners, cross-referenced with BTRY-LS42RAAOE-01. It is documented for Symbol LS4278, LS4278-M, LI4278, DS6878 and DS6878-SR scanners and is used to replace a depleted or failing scanner battery without replacing the handheld scanning device. The CR0078-S/CR0078-P accessories are compatible charging cradles in this scanner ecosystem but are not the battery itself.
