This week, the lead-acid battery market was steeped in holiday atmosphere, with dealers successively receiving battery deliveries. The extended delivery cycles for some battery models from a few factories in the earlier period have improved. As the holiday approaches, some dealers plan to launch a new round of "buy * get * free" sales promotions during the National Day holiday. In addition, lead-acid battery enterprises have completed their pre-holiday stockpiling of lead ingots, and this week they picked up goods as needed, with spot market transactions further weakening.
