According to statistics, of lead in electric vehicle batteries, the proportion of 70% or so. A 36V battery weight of 12.3 kilograms, of which the use of lead in more than eight kilograms, according to the price of lead No. 1 conversion look, producing a set of lead batteries is only 47 dollar and rising costs.

An electric vehicle manufacturers have complained that, “36V battery transferred to 270 yuan from 295 yuan, 48V transferred to 360 yuan from 395 yuan, up was too outrageous,” and the Apple Battery manufacturers also had great difficulties, the main raw material Lead in price is “running” too fast.

In this regard, some experts expect a fairly long period of time, raw material prices will not decrease. China’s refined lead production in 2007 will be 305 million tons, consumption of 2.45 million tons or so, the net exports of refined lead volume will reach 55 million tons. However, due to high cost and refined lead abolished export tax rebates, export prices have risen. With the continuous expansion of production capacity, concentrate only be more intense A1008, A1012 competition.

Industry associations mediate

Lead prices in order to control the impact on the battery, local industry associations have called the backbone of enterprises to adopt a series of initiatives.

Chinese chemical and physical power industry associations on March 22 in Changsha organized VRLA battery market information, a forum, participants of the manufacturers have double posted, Jiangsu, Shandong Sheng Yang, Shenzhen LEOCH, Shandong, China Japan, Harbin Guangyu, Sailing stake in Shanghai Fuhua, Fung on electrical, Wuhan, long light, Xinxiang Taihang and other battery manufacturers. Business representatives gathered at the cost of production and sales prices A1022, A1039, profits, large amounts of data, analysis of the product technology status and the level of internal management of enterprises to share in the procurement and sales of the current mode of operation of the area and competition, but also comparing similar foreign imports product prices.

Participants came to a battery charge of the enterprise said that since 2006, lead in price from less than 10,000 yuan per ton, soaring to 1.5 million, tin, copper, sulfuric acid, engineering plastics are also great prices, corporate The costs for employee wages, environmental protection and management costs also increased significantly, sales of delinquent loans is also an indisputable fact, coupled with the area of sales of non-standardized operation of enterprises deterioration of the living environment.

At present, China Communications with the valve-regulated lead-acid A1057, A1060 battery production technology is relatively mature, the cost of lead has been steady at 70% of the total cost of the battery level, which for the cost of raw material price fluctuations brought about change is already very clear.

Through meetings, it was agreed that the communication with the valve-regulated lead-acid battery field, production enterprises and the user side should face up to purchase the current critical situation, we must assume the cost of the common effects of changes in order to make the common prosperity and development of the industry chain.

The Association also called on enterprises to strengthen industrial self-discipline, promotion and recognition of the legal standard operation to condemn and stop the malicious competition, and strive together to create a harmonious environment for the development of enterprises and to continue to strengthen technological innovation, and actively improve or upgrade its internal management.

Industry consensus on price increase of 15%

Through the battery business consultations, the Chinese power industry, chemical and physical associations of the valve-regulated lead-acid A1061, A1078 battery market information in the forum, the participating experts believe that the situation of high price of electrolytic lead will continue for a long time, short-term price of lead there will not be significantly decreased, even if the decline will be slow and long process.

Therefore, the battery product prices must be adjusted accordingly, participants seriously discussed, and finally reach self-discipline. First of all, the lead-acid battery manufacturers in product prices last year, based on the prices of 15%; Second, the current communication with the battery ex-factory price should not be less than 1.49 / AH (2V).

In addition, taking into account changes in the market factors, the proposed price of each float 10 percent of lead, A1079 battery float prices 5% to 7%, all enterprises and make proper adjustment of product prices. The consensus of the price adjustment from the March 22, 2007 started.

As mobile phones, Digital Camera Battery, camcorders, laptops, electric cars and other consumer products, the continued strength, the battery industry, in particular, lithium-ion batteries show great potential for applications, but also for export provided the impetus for robust growth. At the end of April, 5116 in Wuxi export batteries batches of up to 310 million U.S. dollars export value, compared with the same period last year, an increase of 33.75%, respectively, and 36.78%. One among the top two battery companies are Sony Electronics (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. and Wuxi Matsushita Battery Co., Ltd., two companies approved the export batches to 4700, exports reached 290 million U.S. dollars, compared with the same period last year, grant This increase in 1200 approved the export volume increase of 085 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 34.29%, respectively, and 39.53%.

Battery categories from an export point of view, accounting for its lithium-ion battery battery for more than 80% of total exports. To Sony Corporation led by polymer lithium-ion battery companies have reached an annual output of more than 20 million, accounting for more than 50% world market share; Sanyo’s polymer lithium-ion DSLR Battery Grip development has come from behind. In recent years, Sony and Panasonic, respectively set up production base in Wuxi, allowing the export of Wuxi in the battery form a strong pull. From the mode of trade point of view, Wuxi battery for export mainly to the main processing with imported materials, mainly exports to the Free Trade Zone, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan, the European Union and the United States.

In the lithium-ion battery industry has shown a good situation in the ascendant at the same time, there also exist a number of issues should not be overlooked: First, continued growth in demand, prices continued to decline. Lithium-ion Canon EOS 450D Battery Grip a mature market price to more than 15% average annual rate of decline. The second is excess capacity. The battery industry because of excessive growth of production scale, forming the overall oversupply in the market, allowing product prices continued to fall, affecting economic growth in the industry. At the same time lithium-ion battery production plans and the upgrading of digital products have a very close relationship, with the digital products continues to introduce new lithium-ion battery production plans have changed. Third, raw material costs. Since the second half of 2004 has been a sharp increase in world oil prices, with related chemical materials rose, especially polymer materials, it accounts for a significant polymer lithium ion battery components. General Chemical materials and in 2003 had about 50% compared to the price increases, chemical solvents rose more than 70%. Therefore, the majority of polymer lithium-ion battery production enterprises have to face the issue of rising production costs. Of course, the raw material price changes, some uncertainties, but at this stage, raw material price increases for battery manufacturers is undoubtedly worse.

Fortunately, the current Canon EOS 500D Battery Grip plant in Wuxi in new product development and upgrading of the faster, new products accounted for 40% of the total, in the battery industry have a certain competitive advantage. The battery product rational structure, most of them are environmentally friendly batteries, are therefore subject to the impact of the EU Directive pairs of green also less. But battery companies still need to be vigilant in peace, we must first increase the specialty battery products research and development, some thin battery or larger capacity battery development in order to give full play to polymer lithium-ion battery expertise and advantages. Polymer lithium-ion battery, which uses flexible packaging material, the mold shell is relatively simple, low cost, easy-to-change-type. These characteristics make lithium-ion polymer battery can be completely customized to user needs with the production, and timely conversion model, to respond rapidly to market demands for the thin cells and large-capacity battery to create the conditions for the development. The same time, enterprises should actively adopt new materials to reduce production costs or increase battery battery cost. At present, the polymer lithium-ion battery production in the main materials – positive and negative materials, accounting for more than half of the total cost of the battery percentage. Manufacturing enterprises should actively explore new techniques and recipes, ingredients and processes through the integration of the development of safe and reliable cost-effective alternative materials to reduce battery costs, increase market competitiveness.

Battery raw material prices rose across the board price increase of 15%

As early as six months ago, there is no Canon EOS 1000D Battery Grip manufacturers do not worry about that, “rumors lead-acid battery prices will rise, some companies have begun hoarding lead, in order to avoid the impact of lead prices.”

This action is not completely unfounded, from the second half of 2006 rumors began to become a reality. Major raw materials used in lead-acid batteries, lead prices up by 1.5 yuan / ton. Some battery manufacturers are faced with great difficulties, many enterprises were forced to limit production or even stop production. Industry, manufacturing enterprises should be the universal demand, China’s chemical and physical power industry associations, Zhejiang Province, Nikon D40 Battery Grip industry, the industry associations have taken a series of self-protection measures, while battery prices increase by 15%.

Lead prices rose the impact of difficult to arrive

Network learned from China’s lead industry, in July 2006 Shanghai 1, the price of lead is 1.07 yuan / ton, to September 2006 suddenly rose to 1.32 yuan / ton. Recently, the Shanghai No. 1 Biao lead prices rose to 15,000 yuan / ton. Wit, just over half a year of time, lead prices rose more than 40%.

“This gives us the Nikon D40X Battery Grip manufacturers unbearable.” Leopard Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd. Ningbo Saint sales person in charge said that they have recently increased the prices of electric vehicle batteries, in the range of about 10%.
