Regarding the Price Revision of Automotive Lead-Acid Batteries (for Replacement)
June 19, 2026
GS Yuasa Corporation
GS Yuasa Battery Ltd., a GS Yuasa Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 6674) group company, has decided to revise the prices of replacement lead-acid batteries for automobiles effective in Japan starting in August 2026.
In recent years, costs such as raw materials, energy, logistics, and labor have continued to rise, and the ongoing uncertainty in global affairs suggests that the high procurement costs for raw materials will likely persist.
GS Yuasa Group has continuously worked to streamline production and reduce costs, but under these circumstances we have determined that, despite our corporate efforts—including securing raw materials—it is difficult to maintain previous prices. Therefore, we have decided to revise prices to ensure a stable supply of products.
GS Yuasa will continue to reduce costs and make even greater efforts to provide products and services that satisfy our users and business partners.
