SMM April 13 News: The automotive battery replacement market has entered the traditional off-season. Dealers are cautious in purchasing. To ease the pressure of finished product inventory buildup, lead-acid battery enterprises mostly produce based on sales, with some large enterprises having already cut production by around 10%. In addition, lead prices dropped sharply today, and some enterprises purchased on an as-needed basis, slightly improving market trading activity.
