Other lead-acid batteries (traction, stationary)
derived product Derived product (lead oxides, lead-acid batteries – articles containing lead) – not a CN chapter 78 lead product; plants and trade of the class are given separately, never combined with lead tonnes.
Product mass Article containing lead – lead-acid batteries: trade tonnes are the mass of the batteries (including cases and electrolyte), not their lead content; they are neither compared with nor added to lead tonnes.
Article containing lead (derived): lead-acid batteries other than starter batteries – e.g. traction (forklifts, electric vehicles), stationary (standby power, energy storage) and others; working with liquid electrolyte (8507 20 20) and others (8507 20 80). Trade mass is the mass of batteries, not of lead – outside the lead articles trade total; the PRODCOM quantity is not a mass. Excluding spent batteries (scrap).

Key figures of the class, 2025
from the data In 2025 EU-27 imports from outside the EU amounted to 302 thousand t (EUR 979 million) and exports to 205 thousand t (EUR 887 million); the mass balance was −96.3 thousand t (import surplus). Intra-EU arrivals (reported by EU countries) – 491 thousand t. Main non-EU suppliers: China (35.1%), Vietnam (26.1%) and United Arab Emirates (9.2%). Main non-EU customers: United States (18.1%), United Kingdom (15.9%) and Türkiye (6.2%). Between 2015 and 2025 import mass changed by +14.7% and export mass by +6.7%. EU-27 sold production value according to PRODCOM (codes 27.20.22.31, 27.20.22.41) in 2025: EUR 1.35 billion; quantity – confidential or not available.

Product chain
Place of the class in the processing chain: unwrought metal, preceding classes, the class, following classes and scrap. Nodes are classes of the dictionary (links); the current class – in the accent colour.
The scheme orders the classes of the dictionary by processing stage (family rules in the portal code: same material, a derived product after the non-derived one; links named explicitly – e.g. cans from can stock, die castings from casting alloys, coated steel from galvanizing alloys, lead sheet and oxides from refined lead, lead-acid batteries from lead alloys and lead oxide); an arrow does not mean deliveries between specific plants. Feed and scrap – CN headings of the metal, not dictionary classes (lead – scrap only: unwrought lead is in the dictionary classes).

Method note
- Entry only from a primary document
- A class is assigned to a plant only when a primary document names it – a product data sheet, an annual report, a register or a company page describing the product – with the document page and a reliability class (A, B or C). Press and company directories without a company document are not a basis for an entry.
- Assignment from a location document
- When a company document describes the product and only a location page points to the plant, the assignment of the product to the plant is an inference – the source then has class C and the entry awaits confirmation by a plant document.
- “Full range” is not an entry
- A general claim (“full range of copper products”) without the class, dimensions or alloys does not create an entry. A plant without an entry may make the class – the register does not know.
- Capacity only from a document
- Class capacity (kt) – only when a document states it; no estimates and no split of a whole plant’s capacity into classes. The sum covers only plants with a stated capacity and is a lower bound – always given with the number of plants it covers.
- Entry status
- Produced, planned production (investment announced in a document), production ended. A closed plant – production ended. Key figures – “produced” only.
- Ownership control
- The entity controlling the plant and its country – as in Ownership control (GLEIF Level 2, GLEIF exceptions, groups from company documents). The non-EU share is computed only among producers located in the EU-27 with an established controller (as the default area of Ownership control); a plant outside the EU – e.g. in Türkiye, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or Serbia – is out of scope of the indicator, although it counts among plants and countries.
- Trade and production
- Eurostat Comext: EU-27 extra-EU and intra-EU trade (arrivals reported by EU countries), CN codes of the class (sum of the codes), tonnes and euro, 2005–2025 plus the current incomplete year (hollow marker, no line); sold production – PRODCOM (a code may cover several classes); apparent consumption = production + extra-EU imports − extra-EU exports within the PRODCOM code scope. A CN code may cover products of other classes (e.g. rods and sections in one code) – trade describes CN codes, not the plants of the register.
- Metals kept apart
- Each class belongs to one metal (aluminium, copper, lead, zinc). Each metal has its own page; the metals share a family layout – five semi-finished product families (wire rod and wire; bars and sections; plate, sheet and strip; foil; tubes), families outside semi-finished products (unwrought alloys – feedstock, powders and dust, chemical compounds, anodes and other articles – currently zinc and lead only; unwrought metal – refined lead) and derived products; split by material within a family. A family without classes of a metal shows “–” with a description in the comparison table. Header figures and trade totals are given separately for each metal – tonnes of different metals are never added up. Derived products (e.g. winding wire, structures, cans, stranded wire, zinc-coated steel, die castings) are marked and are not semi-finished products; tonnes of coated steel are the mass of the product, not of zinc, and tonnes of lead-acid batteries are battery mass, not lead. A class outside the metal trade total (coated steel, zinc oxide, die castings without a CN code, lead oxides, batteries) carries a note with the reason.
- Counterpart in the other metal
- A copper ↔ aluminium substitution pair (e.g. wire, coiled tubes, strip, stranded wire) comes from the dictionary field or from the portal map of pairs. The comparison shows the figures of both classes side by side, without a total, and the application sentence has no figures; a pair does not mean interchangeability in every application.
- Links by metal
- Copper classes have a form in the R02 forecast and the EU copper flow analysis; aluminium classes – the EU aluminium flow analysis and the country analyses; zinc classes – the EU zinc flow analysis and the country analysis for Poland; lead classes – the country analysis for Poland (the R01 and R02 forecasts cover copper only). An analysis link given with the class takes precedence.
- Dataset scope
- The dataset covers copper and aluminium semi-finished products and their alloys, and zinc products (titanium-zinc sheet, unwrought alloys, powders and dust, anodes, derived products) and lead products (refined lead, unwrought alloys, sheet, powders, other articles, lead oxides and lead-acid batteries) at plants of the Companies register. Counts of plants, countries and groups and the capacity sum are a lower bound of the market – they grow with further documents.
