SMM News, March 10: Replacement demand in the automotive battery market was moderate. After the holiday, dealers restocked based on demand. The operating rate of production lines at some medium and large enterprises had recovered to 70-90%, with a few even approaching full capacity. However, export-oriented enterprises among them had weak orders, and production was basically based on sales, while procurement of raw material lead was also relatively cautious.
