We’ve all spent time on service calls that ended up being unnecessary.  The best way to ensure that you reduce or eliminate needless service calls is to install quality batteries such as those supplied by MK Battery. We can all agree that as financial conditions continue to challenge businesses, we need to look for ways to reduce costs by eliminating wasted service calls. Follow along to see if service calls are costing your business too much, and what you can do about it.

Invest in a Better, Longer Lasting Battery  

Just like everything, even under the best conditions, all batteries have a life expectancy. It may seem like the upfront cost of a higher quality battery is cost prohibitive, but it almost always offers cost savings in the long run. We frequently talk about the total cost of ownership (TCO) and cost per cycle when we consider the true costs associated with battery usage. If a high-quality battery costs a little more, but lasts twice as long, the TCO over the life of the battery, and the cost per cycle, will be far lower than with a lesser quality product.  As we continue to see labor and fuel prices escalating, it is now more important than ever to invest in higher quality products.  This will not only save you money in the long run by reducing service calls, but you will have a much more satisfied customer base.  After all, power mobility users do not want to be dealing with premature battery failures.  

The use of substandard batteries in power mobility equipment often translates to more phone calls, more tech diagnostic time, and more time driving to  customers’ homes. All these increased activities increase your operating expenses without generating additional revenue. We encourage all providers to review the total cost of ownership before making a decision to go with the cheapest battery.
