aptop batteries

Batteries are now one of the most ubiquitous products on the planet with more than 70-billion produced every year with a value in excess of $38 billion. The race to produce more powerful longer lasting batteries is an on-going effort involving corporate giants and small start-up companies. The production and sales of China's laptop battery industry maintained a high-speed growth in 2004. With the recovery of the world economy, the import and export of China's laptop battery products has increased, but the international competition in laptop battery market has also become more intense. China's laptop battery manufacturers are far behind their foreign counterparts in terms of high and new technologies, thus technology will be a bottleneck restraining the development of China's battery manufacturing. Presently China's battery industry is almost monopolized by foreign-funded companies. More than 50％ of the large-scale enterprises are joint ventures or wholly owned by foreign enterprises (including HK, Macro, and Taiwan-based enterprises). Japanese capital takes the lion's share among foreign capitals in China; some are joint ventures co-invested/co-operated by domestic capital and Japanese capital, and some are Japanese-funded subsidiaries/holding companies or companies co-invested by domestic capitals in China Taiwan.
