Motolite, the leading brand in the market, has recently upgraded its tropicalized automotive batteries to be more reliable than ever. By implementing the cutting-edge Punched Grid Technology, Motolite has achieved an impressive 45 percent increase in the average life cycle of its products.
Originally designed with the harsh Philippine weather and road conditions in mind, Motolite batteries now boast even greater durability with the incorporation of punched grid technology. This innovation allows the batteries to withstand extreme heat and rough roads, making them ideal for daily driving.
Punched Grid Technology, developed in Germany, revolutionizes the creation of positive plates by punching the grid design into a lead sheet. This method optimizes material usage, improves conductivity, enhances durability, and extends the battery’s life cycle.
Motolite, known as the most reliable battery brand in the Philippines, has taken the lead in local production of punched grids. This move aligns with the company’s dedication to continuously enhancing its products through the latest advancements in battery manufacturing technology.
Enhanced Conductivity
Compared to the conventional Expanded Grid technology used by most automotive battery manufacturers, Motolite’s Punched Grid plates offer 24% higher conductivity. This improvement is achieved through the use of advanced multiphysics simulation software, and ensures better electrical flow through the plates. As a result, batteries equipped with Punched Grid plates can meet the increasing power demands of modern vehicles, providing more reliable engine start-ups and a superior user experience.
Increased Durability
The innovative Punched Grid technology represents a significant advancement over the traditional Expanded Grid technology. By creating plates with a distinctive wire layout that incorporates strategically placed reinforcing wires and borders, this technology offers a superior level of durability.
Unlike plates made with Expanded Grid technology, which experience tensile stress along all stretched wires, Punched Grid plates only encounter stress along specific sheared areas. This results in plates that are not only more resistant to corrosion and less prone to short circuits, but also more durable overall.
Motolite Takes it Up a Notch
Motolite has taken Punched Grid technology to the next level by incorporating the texturing of grids into its manufacturing process. This additional step enhances the adhesion of active materials, leading to improved battery endurance and quality.
Punched Grid technology provides batteries with a precise and consistent grid quality, superior performance, and the ability to achieve 600 additional cycles compared to batteries utilizing expanded grids. The enhanced grain structure and full grid border further improve corrosion resistance, increasing the endurance and service life of Motolite batteries.
Furthermore, the higher wire density and improved wire layout pattern contribute to lower internal resistance, which in turn enhances current flow and electrical performance. This combination of features results in batteries that not only last longer but also deliver superior performance.
