One of China's largest lead-acid battery makers, mainly for electric bikes, expanding into lithium batteries.
One of China's largest lead-acid battery makers, mainly for electric bikes, expanding into lithium batteries.
Sells lead-acid battery packs that wear out within a few years, so replacements bring repeat demand beyond new e-bike sales, and it recycles used lead batteries to supply part of its own lead. Lead prices and the pace at which lithium takes market share are the main swing factors.
Moat: narrow (scale, distribution, brand). Leading share and distribution network in China's e-bike lead-acid battery replacement market.
