SMM April 27 Lead-Acid Battery Market News Flash [SMM Midday Review]

Published: Apr 27, 2026 12:33

SMM April 27: The e-bike lead-acid battery market continued its off-season trend. Dealers made limited purchases ahead of the holiday. Meanwhile, as costs of raw materials such as lead ingots and sulphuric acid stayed high, major lead-acid battery enterprises did not offer sales promotions on batteries during the off-season as they had in previous years. Currently, battery wholesale market selling prices remained largely unchanged. For example, the wholesale price of the mainstream model 48V20Ah stayed at 380-400 yuan/set.
