Core Viewpoint - The competition among lithium battery companies in the two-wheeler market is focusing on product upgrades and channel restructuring as they adapt to the new national standards for electric bicycles [3][4]. Product Upgrades - The introduction of the new national standards has led to a significant decline in lithium battery applications, with lead-acid battery usage surging by 13.4% in Q3 and over 90% in Q4 [3]. - Both lead-acid and lithium battery companies are launching higher capacity and lighter batteries, targeting consumer demands for power, fast charging, and safety [3][4]. - The safety upgrades for lithium batteries include the implementation of Battery Management Systems (BMS) and reduced plastic usage, enhancing overall safety and performance [6][9]. - New lithium battery products are generally offering capacities of 24Ah, 30Ah, or more, significantly improving the range of electric bicycles to meet consumer commuting needs [10][11]. Channel Restructuring - Major lithium battery companies like BYD and Guoxuan High-Tech are actively establishing direct sales stores and online channels to counter traditional dealer monopolies [5][12]. - As of now, 31 companies in the electric bicycle industry have obtained 748 new national standard CCC certificates, with over 276 new models available for consumers [5]. - The establishment of direct sales and authorized stores allows battery companies to maintain control over product sales and improve after-sales service, which is crucial for consumer trust and battery recycling [14].
