AA Battery Vs Rechargeable Mosquito Rackets
Battery cost, shipping paperwork, retail price step and container loading all move when you switch power source. The numbers from the DANQ range.
The Consumer Complaint Is Battery Cost
An AA racket needs two cells, and the cells run out in the middle of the season. That is the single most common after-sale complaint on battery models and the reason rechargeable rackets exist. A rechargeable racket removes the running cost and, with it, the reason the customer stops using the product.
AA models ship without a cell in the box as standard, so there is nothing extra to declare. Rechargeable models carry an internal cell, which brings its own transport documentation. This is a real cost of the upgrade and it belongs in the comparison.
BS04, an AA model, packs 60 pcs into a 47 x 45 x 33 cm carton and loads 24300 pcs into a 20 ft GP. RS113, a rechargeable model, packs 50 pcs into a larger carton and loads 13600 pcs. RS162 loads 10920 pcs. The rechargeable upgrade roughly halves the pieces per container, so freight per unit rises before the factory price is even considered.
A rechargeable racket that only takes one cord type becomes three SKUs across the EU, the UK and USB markets. RS113 takes a 2-pin flat, round or UK plug cord, a micro USB cable or a Type-C cable, which is the practical way to keep it as one SKU.
Carry both. A single layer AA racket holds the opening price, a three layer AA racket takes the middle, and one rechargeable model with a torch or a large head takes the top. That is how the DANQ range is structured, twelve AA models against three rechargeable ones.
