SMM January 16: Demand for e-bike lead-acid battery replacements is sluggish, and dealers' battery inventory is being digested slowly. Meanwhile, high lead and tin prices have raised production costs for lead-acid battery enterprises. Recently, a top-tier enterprise issued a notice indicating plans to raise battery selling prices, with an expected increase of 10-20 yuan per set. However, the current wholesale battery market is struggling to catch up with the price hike. For example, the mainstream model 48V12Ah is priced at 290-310 yuan per set.
