How come AAA battery has half the capacity of AA battery yet costs the same?

[wwenze]

Go Daiso, pack of 5, both same price

Anyone knows why ah?

 

[buttbERry]

due to demand and cost of manufacturing?

 

[dontwastetime]

Probably the manufacturing cost is similar, raw materials are small part of the cost

2ndly it takes up similar shelf space in the shop as a AA. E.g. the hanging rack in NTUC. And a new box in the neighborhood store

Better to get rechargeable. save time & always there when u need it

 

[pencil-leads]

why i tell the cai fan aunty i want less rice, i still get charged for the full rice portion?

 

[GhostZM]

You get an additional "A" so that makes up for the difference in capacity


CheerS!!!

need to do a post mortem inside each batt to know what's the secret

 

[cosmothecat]

Cost of manufacturing, distribution and merchant's profit margin. Once all added up, about the same, not much difference.

That's why you go fancy cafe, their small, medium and large coffee, price difference only less than one dollar for each size

AA is more frequent used in the market....
high volume production = reduce cost per unit,
bulk purchase = more discounts.

e.g
Seller order 10k x AA = 10k
Seller order 1k x AAA = 1.5k

AAA can convert to AA but not vice versa

rechargeables are troublesome, better use and dispose, forget being green, not worth the effort

Kelong all of it.

Chiu see hor.

Energizer lithium AA is how much in US Costco.
Then you see how much it is in NTUC.

The fscking dirty secret is that BOTH ARE MADE in Sinkapore.

We pay 4x more a fscking cell for a product made here than a person who buys the same thing after it has been shipped dangerous cargo 10000km away.

Save time & convenience. They are always around.

I never said green or save money

Mid night 3am who wants to walk to 7-11 and buy overpriced AAAs

 

[fade_white]

So you now the raw materials cost is actually negligible.

sorry to say.. now the stupid AAA is more common, everything trying to be slim

KNN remote is the worst, hard to find AA

 

[freshvibes]

Consider getting those rechargable ones like Ladda. It is more worth it if you use these batteries often.

eh, AA hold more capacity, this is why it is more demanding.
wall clock, mouse, keyboard, toys , torchlight, etc.

if u got kids, toys need a lot of AA....
