ABOUT

Zhejiang Automotive Battery Factory

Nestled in the thriving industrial corridor of Cixi, Zhejiang Province, Western Electrical’s flagship manufacturing base operates as our core engineering and assembly facility for high-cranking automotive power. Spanning over 56,000 square meters with an active workforce of more than 300 skilled technicians and engineers, this facility is fully optimized for continuous, automated production of lead-acid starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries.


Designed to meet the stringent power demands of contemporary mobility, the Zhejiang plant integrates automated grid-casting, precision plate-curing, and computerized acid-filling technologies. Our production capabilities encompass a full spectrum of vehicle batteries, including heavy-duty dry-charged units, sealed maintenance-free (SMF) series, and high-performance Start-Stop EFB/AGM series. In addition, dedicated production lines within the facility support specialized VRLA deep-cycle and motive power applications, such as golf cart batteries.


Operational reliability at our Zhejiang plant is anchored by a highly trained technical team and veteran battery engineers. With a strong emphasis on continuous metallurgical research, grid-alloy formulation, and battery chemistry refinement, our R&D personnel ensure that every battery line delivered achieves exceptional cold-cranking performance (CCA), superior vibration resistance, and prolonged operational lifespan under extreme ambient temperatures.


Quality assurance and environmental responsibility form the backbone of our operations. The Zhejiang facility strictly adheres to internationally recognized quality and environmental control frameworks, operating under full certification for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Every manufacturing stage - from raw lead ingot inspection to final high-rate discharge testing - is governed by stringent QA/QC protocols to guarantee faultless reliability for our global OEM and private-label partners.


Core Advantages of the Zhejiang Manufacturing Base:
●  Automated Assembly Line Efficiency: Equipped with modern COS (Cast-On-Strap) welding machines and automatic heat-sealing equipment, ensuring high structural integrity and air-tight cell sealings.
●  Comprehensive Automotive Portfolio: Capable of producing the complete range of SLI batteries adhering to DIN, JIS, and BCI international dimension standards.
●  Advanced Grid Alloy Technology: Utilizes calcium-lead and specialized tin-alloy formulations to minimize self-discharge rates and optimize corrosion resistance.
●  Strict 100% End-of-Line Inspection: Every manufactured battery undergoes mandatory automated short-circuit checking, pressure leak testing, and high-current discharge testing before packaging.
●  Sustainable & Eco-Compliant Operations: Features closed-loop acid filtration, lead-dust extraction systems, and wastewater recycling plants in strict compliance with environmental protection regulations.
  Flexible OEM & Private Label Solutions: Customized branding, casing colorways, terminal layout configurations, and bespoke box packaging tailored for global aftermarket distributors.
