Mosquito Magnet HHD10006 Replacement Battery 4.8V 3000mAh

Mosquito Magnet Executive Magnet Traps M — 4.8V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (HHD10006)

This is a 4.8V 3000mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Mosquito Magnet Executive Magnet Traps M and compatible models including the Liberty Plus, Liberty, and H-SC3000X4. It powers the trap's fan motor and propane ignition system that generates the CO2 and heat plume used to attract mosquitoes. Voltage and capacity match the original HHD10006 specification exactly.

• Multi-model fit — Executive, Liberty, and Liberty Plus: These Mosquito Magnet trap variants share the same 4.8V battery rail, connector footprint, and ignition circuit requirements, which is why one battery covers all of them. The BMS handshake and cell configuration are identical across the range.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through fan-motor start sequences and propane igniter draws. The BMS held within rated current limits on igniter pulses without tripping, and cell voltage recovered cleanly between cycles.
• Seasonal storage before mosquito season: If the trap has sat unused over winter, run a full charge-discharge cycle before deploying it. Ni-MH cells left discharged for months can develop voltage depression that makes the ignition circuit fire weakly or not at all on the first start of the season.

Why the igniter fires but the trap fails to light on startup

The propane ignition circuit pulls a sharp current spike when it fires — higher than the steady fan draw. If the battery has degraded or sits at low state of charge, that spike causes the cell voltage to sag below the igniter's minimum threshold. The igniter clicks but doesn't sustain enough energy to light the propane. Charge the battery fully and measure resting voltage — a healthy 4.8V Ni-MH pack should read 5.4–5.6V off the charger.

Fan runs but CO2 output drops off after 30 minutes of operation

This symptom usually points to the battery supplying enough voltage for the fan motor but not enough sustained current for the heating element that enhances the CO2 plume. Ni-MH cells with capacity fade deliver acceptable no-load voltage but sag under the combined load of fan plus heater. The result is reduced heat output, which weakens the attractant plume without shutting the trap down entirely. Check that the battery reaches a full charge state before each session — the charger LED should indicate a complete cycle, not just a partial top-up.
