Motolite has taken a significant step forward in enhancing the performance and reliability of its automotive batteries. By shifting to the state-of-the-art Punched Grid Technology, Motolite has achieved a remarkable 45% average increase in the life cycle of its products, making them even more resilient to the demands of the Philippine market.
Developed in Germany, the Punched Grid technology represents a major advancement over the traditional Expanded Grid technology used by most battery manufacturers. This innovative approach creates positive plates by punching the grid design into a sheet of lead, resulting in a more efficient use of materials, enhanced conductivity, increased durability, and longer battery cycle life.
“Motolite is the first to locally produce punched grids, consistent with our commitment to continuously improve our products through the latest and greatest innovations in battery manufacturing technology,” said a company spokesperson.
The key benefits of Motolite’s adoption of Punched Grid Technology include:
Enhanced Conductivity: Compared to Expanded Grid technology, the Punched Grid plates designed by Motolite’s engineers have 24% higher conductivity, facilitating better electrical flow and meeting the increasing power demands of modern automobiles.
Increased Durability: The unique wire layout and strategically integrated reinforcing wires and borders of the Punched Grid plates make them more corrosion-resistant and less likely to form short circuits, resulting in greater overall durability.
Improved Endurance and Quality: Motolite has further enhanced its manufacturing process by incorporating the texturing of grids, which boosts battery endurance and quality. This extra step has resulted in a sustained increase in high-rate discharge performance and longer battery life, with up to 600 additional cycles compared to expanded grid batteries.
By delivering these performance and reliability enhancements, Motolite is ensuring that its tropicalized automotive batteries can withstand the rigors of daily driving, even under the extreme heat and challenging road conditions of the Philippines. This shift to Punched Grid Technology reinforces Motolite’s position as the most trusted battery brand in the country, committed to providing its customers with the best possible products and experiences.
