Eager to showcase the durability, performance, and technological advancements of its automotive batteries, Motolite has partnered with Mototesto and Petron to stage the Philippine Overland Expedition Challenge: Pacific Coast Stage, the first-of-its-kind off-the-grid adventure event in the country. For this extraordinary challenge, Motolite will be showcasing the groundbreaking features found in the New Excel and the recently launched Excel EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery), plus other technologically advanced lead-acid and new-formulation batteries.
Motolite’s support for, and partnership with the overland community stems from Motolite’s thrust of seeking out and supporting trailblazers that provide new adventurous experiences to the Philippine market. As such, Motolite will be providing free batteries to the competing vehicles and also offer big discounts to all the participants of the four-day, 285-kilometer overland journey. The Philippine Overland Expedition Challenge: Pacific Coast Stage will flag off from the Laus Group Event Center in San Fernando, Pampanga on October 12, and end in General Nakar, Quezon, on October 15th.
Motolite’s Excel series of batteries are built for tough road conditions, making it perfect for overland adventures across rugged terrain. With its German technology and tropicalized battery design, the Motolite Excel series is packed with innovations that make it last at least 70% longer than competing imported lead-acid batteries.
With studies showing that the number of days with temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius per year has doubled since the 1980s, it’s good to note that the Motolite Excel series’ high-purity electrolyte, specially manufactured at Motolite’s state-of-the-art facility, is formulated to minimize water loss and slow down self-discharge, which are key concerns in tropical applications. This means that motorists can be confident that their batteries won’t run out of water even when subjected to extreme temperatures under the hood and excessively hot weather.
The Motolite Excel series has thick, rigid, and full-framed positive and negative grids with wire architecture optimized for mechanical endurance, high-temperature corrosion resistance, and current delivery. The series also boasts of specially formulated paste to increase cranking capability and cycle endurance. The cell design, likewise, increases mechanical durability and prevents internal short-circuits. Motolite’s glass-mat laminated polyethylene separator envelopes secure active masses, preventing shedding even on deep discharges and tough road conditions, resulting in exceptional durability and longer service life. Its cells are designed to have snug-fitting and anchor-bonded elements, improving the vibration resistance and mechanical durability of the battery. Its thicker posts and through-the-partition cell connectors, on the other hand, promote more efficient current flow, helping achieve maximum capacity, delivering exceptional durability, and ensuring longer service. Last but not the least is Motolite Excel series’ casing, which is a product of the brand’s recycling initiative, is impact-resistant and all-weather, with polypropylene covers and containers designed for all types of battery trays and compartments.
