In the first week after the Chinese New Year, the lead-acid battery market gradually resumed operations, with most producers starting production and logistics gradually recovering, allowing factories to resume battery shipments. On the dealer side, a few local dealers maintained normal business during the Chinese New Year holiday, while some dealers on holiday resumed operations after February 19, with the majority starting around February 24 (the eighth day of the first lunar month). The final batch will resume operations before the Lantern Festival on March 3. Currently, end-use consumption in the lead-acid battery market remains moderate, and dealers' enthusiasm for restocking after the holiday is low, with only just-in-time procurement taking place. Additionally, the selling price in the battery wholesale market has shown no significant change compared to pre-holiday levels.
