In the course of decades of development, lead-acid batteries have accumulated mature technology, reliable safety, high reuse rates, and a series of other technical and market advantages, thus laying the foundation for the leading role of lead-acid batteries in my country's battery industry. The market leader status, and in the foreseeable future, this dominant position will be difficult to shake. According to predictions from the Lead-Acid Battery Branch of the China Electrical Equipment Industry Association, the domestic battery market capacity will reach 150-160 billion yuan in 2015, and the international market capacity is expected to reach a new high of 22-25 billion yuan. The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for China's Chemical and Physical Power Source (Battery) Industry" compiled by the China Chemical and Physical Power Source Industry Association predicts that lead-acid batteries will maintain a growth rate of 15% during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period. Sales revenue is expected to reach more than 170 billion yuan. These data show that lead-acid batteries are still the mainstream of the battery market in my country and the world, and maintain a good development momentum.

　　Hope and peril: The current state of the lead-acid battery market

　　When you are safe, you should also be mindful of dangers. "Being mindful of dangers" includes: Where is the growth point of the lead-acid battery industry? What were the challenges encountered? In this regard, Dai Jingming has his own unique insights.

　　Talking about the growth point of the lead-acid battery market, or the focus of future efforts, Dai Jingming said that there are two major markets for lead-acid batteries: one is the electric vehicle market, including the hybrid vehicle market; the second is the energy storage market . At present, both markets are developing markets with unlimited prospects. For many years, Camel Battery has been committed to lead-acid batteries for automobiles. Therefore, vehicle electrification is a major market development direction for Camel Battery, as well as the direction of enterprise development, and it is also a development direction full of hope.

　　In the past decade or so, society has never stopped questioning the pollution caused by the lead-acid battery industry. In October 2014, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a draft of the "Automotive Power Battery Industry Standard Conditions" for comments, clarifying that power batteries must be lead-free batteries. Therefore, some industry insiders say that lead batteries have become a sunset industry and will withdraw from the power battery market in the future.

　　Low temperature and high energy density 18650 3350mAh-40℃ 0.5C discharge capacity ≥60%

　　In this regard, Dai Jingming said that my country's lead-acid battery industry has very little policy support, and issues such as environmental protection and consumption tax have put tremendous pressure on enterprises. At an expo held in 2014, two-thirds of the exhibition space was occupied by lithium batteries. Only a few lead-acid battery industry giants were seen. The impact of lithium batteries and other new energy material batteries on the traditional lead-acid battery market has thus begun. It can be seen.

　　Generally speaking, market demand has brought vitality to lead-acid batteries, while the impact of policies has restricted the development of the industry. The sudden emergence of the lithium battery industry has intensified market competition. This "triple" is a true portrayal of the current status of my country's lead-acid battery market.

　　Technological innovation: the basic driving force for turning crises into opportunities

　　Dai Jingming said that the lead-acid battery market is facing competitive pressure and development crisis. Although these potential crises do not pose a serious threat to the industry, they still need to be taken seriously.

　　Where is the way out for the lead-acid battery industry? Dai Jingming said that technological innovation is the only way out. At present, large-scale enterprises in the lead-acid battery industry are actively transforming production technology and processes, and expanding scale and output. Therefore, although there is no relevant policy support, the company still achieves good results.

　　Dai Jingming believes that in recent years, with the intensification of market competition and the sudden emergence of new energy material batteries such as lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries have been forced to make greater technical progress and innovation. Judging from the situation in the past few years, batteries are generally cheap, have relatively stable performance, and are relatively recognized by consumers. Therefore, the industry has not put forward more requirements for lead-acid battery technology, and lead-acid battery companies have maintained large production volumes. and profit. As new energy materials heat up, especially breakthroughs in lithium batteries and graphene technology, consumers' demand for chemical power sources increases, such as in the fields of electric vehicles and energy storage, and consumers' demands for battery endurance and service life increase. , forcing the lead-acid battery industry to increase technology research and development and process innovation.

　　Camel Battery is developing pure lead thin substrate batteries and batteries with carbon-added technology for the negative electrode. These research results will greatly improve the performance and quality of lead-acid batteries. Through technological innovation and industrial structure adjustment, there will be great room for improvement in the performance of lead-acid batteries.

　　In the field of hybrid power, EFB batteries using lead-acid battery negative liquid carbonization technology can fully meet the use requirements in the weak hybrid field. Europe currently attaches great importance to the use of AGM battery technology in the weak hybrid field. Pure lead thin substrate batteries have better high-power performance and can meet the needs of weak to medium hybrid fields. Therefore, lead batteries are fully capable of meeting the battery needs of low-speed electric vehicles traveling short distances.

　　Resource recycling: breaking the deadlock on environmental pollution

　　The development of lead-acid batteries has been limited and has even suffered some criticism. One important reason is the possible industrial pollution, which involves the recycling of used batteries. Linked to my country's commitment to creating an "upgraded version" of the economy, accelerating economic transformation and upgrading, and accelerating the development of a circular economy, resource recycling has become a bottleneck issue that must be broken through in the lead-acid battery market, and is also one of the core issues related to future development.

　　Lead-acid batteries are mainly used in electric bicycles, low-speed electric vehicles and other fields, and are replaced after one or two years. With the sharp increase in the total number of electric bicycles, the problem of battery recycling has become increasingly prominent. Dai Jingming believes that in recent years, the recycling rate of lead-acid batteries in my country has reached a maximum of 98%, and usually reaches 95%. However, as long as the recovery rate does not reach 100%, it may pollute the environment. Therefore, the ultimate goal is a recovery rate of 100%, which will be infinitely close. If we move closer to this goal, lead will be a completely recyclable resource that will never be exhausted. Therefore, the price of lead-acid batteries will not change significantly, and they will still remain cheap and affordable for ordinary people.

　　In the past two years, due to market saturation and vicious competition, the price of lead-acid batteries has dropped significantly. A set of batteries has dropped from the original 400 to 500 yuan, or even 800 yuan at the most expensive time, to more than 300 yuan. The profit is minimal, leading to lead Acid battery companies are regarded by some as a sunset industry. Dai Jingming believes that once the goal of formal channels and high utilization rate recycling is achieved, the most polluting links in the entire lead-acid battery industry chain will be better controlled. Only then can lead-acid batteries overcome the most deadly and weakest problems. link, take off the hat of pollution. The lead-acid battery industry is by no means a sunset industry, but it occupies a place in the battery market segment.
