SMM February 13: Today was the last trading day before the Chinese New Year. The e-bike lead-acid battery market experienced weak consumption, and producers have generally entered the holiday period. Except for a few enterprises whose offices will remain open until February 14, factory workshops mostly began holidays at the start of the week. On the dealer side, most dealers started holidays this week, while some local dealers and retailers are expected to resume business on February 19-20.
