Motolite recently introduced its Excel DIN-size batteries that are specifically designed for Philippine weather and road conditions, giving European car owners a better-priced, yet reliable alternative for their imported batteries.
The Motolite Excel DIN, short for Deutsches Institutfür Normung or German Industrial Standard, is guaranteed to last up to 70% longer compared to other batteries due to its solid engineering using German technology.
The Excel has low-type plates that give more headspace for acid and keep the battery temperature lower, allowing a longer battery life. It also features enveloped positive plates to prevent deep discharges and thick cast positive plate grids for better resistance against corrosion. The batteries even have glass mat separators to improve battery cycles and full-bordered negative plate grids that make them less prone to internal short circuits. For optimal balance between electrical capacity and endurance, it has a reformulated paste and a special electrolyte additive that prevents shorts due to deep discharges and slows down self-discharge.
Motolite also improved other features like the reinforced upper frame to make it more robust against grid growth and corrosion and rounded edges to avoid instances of sudden internal short circuits. It has an optimized wire design that lowers electrical resistance and improves current distribution. It also has product-specific container ribs for better resistance to vibration and redesigned element rests for effective channeling of plate residues in the course of battery use.
DIN-sized batteries are mostly fit for European vehicles, although there are already some Japanese, Korean, American, and Chinese cars that are powered by this battery type. Most car manufacturers, including Toyota, Ford, and Chevrolet, are now shifting to DIN sizes.
The Excel DIN is highly recommended for vehicles such as Audi Q5 with start-stop, BMW 1 Series with start-stop, Ford Ecosport, Volkswagen TS Multivan, Volkswagen Tiguan 1.4 TSI, Passat 2.0, and CC 2.0 TDi. It is currently available in select Motolite outlets in the following sizes: DIN44, DIN55/R, DIN66/ R, DIN55/H, DIN66/H, DIN77, DIN77/H, and DIN88.
