Plants in Baoding, Hebei province, ceased production from Aug 2 in face of high temperatures and power shortages

SHANGHAI, Aug 3 (SMM) – Lead-acid battery plants in Baoding, Hebei province, ceased production from Thursday August 2 on the city government's requirement. Authorities imposed production stops in face of high temperatures and power shortages, SMM learned.

This is expected to last until Tuesday August 7, with temperatures climbing above 35 degrees Celsius in the next three days.

Daily lead consumption of 400-500 mt is likely to be affected as many lead-acid battery plants are located across the city.
