Flat demand — neither rising nor fading.
Smoothed with a 7-day trailing mean.
Daily readership of the English Wikipedia article Automotive battery , via the official Wikimedia pageviews API. Bot traffic is excluded.
Note: Wikipedia redirects “Car battery” to “Automotive battery”, so this measures the broader article — readers looking for Car battery land there, but so do others.
Readership is a proxy for interest, not sales. It shows where attention is going, which usually leads demand — it doesn’t promise anyone is buying.
