Which is the Right One for Your Vehicle — MOTOLITE’s Excel EFB or Excel AGM?

· Leave a comment ·

As part of its commitment to its customers to provide a complete line of batteries for their needs, Motolite – the Philippines’ top battery brand – has released two top-of-the line batteries as part of its premium EXCEL line of batteries: the EXCEL EFB & the EXCEL AGM.

But which one is best for your vehicle? Both batteries have their strengths and weaknesses, so it comes down to what matches your vehicle’s needs best.

Motolite EXCEL EFBs, engineered to work with start-stop engines, enjoy longer battery life due to:

  • Lower battery temperatures due to low-type plates that provide headspace for acid;
  • Increased corrosion resistance from enveloped positive plates that prevent deep discharges, from thick-cast positive plate grids, and from reinforced upper frames;
  • Reduced chances of internal short circuits, due to full-bordered negative plate grids;
  • Improved current distribution and lowered electrical resistance from optimized wire design;
  • Increased resistance to vibration from product-specific container ribs; and
  • Slowed self-discharged and reduced deep-discharge shorts through special additives for the battery paste and battery electrolyte.

Motolite EXCEL AGMs offer:

  • AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) separators which absorb the electrolyte, critical in enabling oxygen-hydrogen recombination and making the battery spill-proof;
  • Extremely low gassing and moisture loss due to the oxygen recombination process inherent to VRLA (Valve regulated lead acid) batteries;
  • Long service life due to the valve-regulated exhaust, which keeps the optimal operating pressure temperature;
  • Longer service life due to the pure lead (99.99%) grids and connectors which aid in oxygen retention; and
  • Improved power delivery through optimized punch grid technology.

EXCEL EFB and EXCEL AGM both have similar electrical and service life performance, with their key differentiations as follows:

These stem from the differences in technologies. In EFBs, oxygen, hydrogen, and water vapor are released during the regular battery charge & discharge cycle. In time, this lowers the electrolyte level, eventually requiring the topping off of demi-water. In AGMs, the use of the absorbent mat allows it to store all electrolytes in the system and counter the electrolyte loss, and to suppressing water and hydrogen gas escape from the battery, reducing moisture loss.

While this means that AGMs tend to retain moisture and electrolytes better, it also means they lack the cooling effect of the electrolytes that EFBs enjoy – reducing effectiveness in tropical climates. Furthermore, in AGMs every 10degC increase in temperature doubles the rate of reactivity, resulting in increased gassing, hastened corrosion, and ultimately a shorter battery life.

Ultimately, it’s recommended that customers use EXCEL AGM for cars that also have AGM batteries for original equipment, and to use EXCEL EFB for cars that use EFB batteries as original equipment. This is to avoid the detrimental impact that unplanned excess heat might have on an AGM battery installed in a space meant for an EFB.

Both Motolite EXCEL EFB & AGM are backed by Motolite’s nationwide warranty coverage. Motolite EXCEL EFB offers an 18 Month / 27 Month Warranty (for start-stop vehicles / conventional vehicles respectively), while Motolite EXCEL AGM offers a 21 Month / 24 Month Warranty (for start-stop vehicles / conventional vehicles respectively).

SM provides learners with environment conducive to learning

· Leave a comment ·

More than just an area where students gather to hold classes, a school environment plays a vital role in learners’ cognitive development. Research has shown that with an environment conducive to learning, students increase their attention and focus, and they are more motivated to practice higher-level critical thinking skills.

Adamant to provide students with venues where they can fully hone their skills and knowledge, SM Foundation (SMFI)—the corporate social responsibility arm of the SM group—cemented its partnership with the Department of Education (DepED) in 2002 through DepEd’s Adopt-A-School Program.

Through this, SMFI builds SM school buildings in grassroot communities, complete with basic furniture and equipment. More so, SMFI integrates specialized features into each SM school building to address the unique needs of their school recipients—some received rooms dedicated as a guidance office, a clinic, and a mini-library, and some even got a water tank and a handwashing facility.

To date, SMFI has turned over more than 100 SM school buildings nationwide with the help of its partners, which share the same aspirations for Filipino learners and teachers. One of which is SM Prime Holdings (SMPH) – one of the largest integrated property developers in Southeast Asia. Since the project’s inception, over 90 SM school buildings out of the more than 100 were built through the social good collaboration with SM Prime.

Infrastructure for calamity-prone areas

SMFI and SMPH ensure that the SM school buildings incorporate a disaster-resilient design to guarantee the safety of the students, teachers, and other school personnel. Emergency lights at both staircases, and fire and earthquake alarm bells are also installed.

Principal Joji Buelvo, school principal of Basud Elementary School (BES) in Sorsogon City, shared the state of their school community before they accepted the fully furnished SM school building from SMFI and SM Prime in 2021: “Ang aming paaralan ay saksi sa maraming kalamidad. Kaya karamihan ng mga classrooms ay may kalumaan na, ang mga kisame ay malapit na bumagsak—talagang hindi na conducive for learning.”

“But through your [SMFI and SM Prime] donation, our BES learners now have a haven where we can nurture their young minds to be academically-ready and well-rounded members of the community,” Buelvo further expressed.

Addressing classroom shortage

The continuous rapid growth of the country’s population is taking a toll on schools—leaving the students, even the teachers, with overcrowded classrooms which affect learners’ academic performance.

In 2012, the Banisil National High School (BNHS) in General Santos City received its first SM school building. But being the only secondary school in Barangay Tambler, BNHS records a significant increase in their enrollment per year. With this challenge, SM Foundation decided to provide another edifice of hope for the sub-urban Muslim community in 2021, addressing the growing needs of BNHS learners and teachers.

Every classroom in an SM school building is well-ventilated and spacious enough to allow the students to have a better learning experience.
BNHS then principal Shiela Balbon said, “Yung patuloy na paglobo ng population every year ay talagang naging suliranin namin.”

“Pagpasok ng 2020, nagkaroon ng COVID. So naisip ko baka hindi na matuloy. Pero itong SM Foundation, walang pande-pandemya sa kanila. Talagang desidido silang matugunan yung pangangailangan sa classroom ng mga estudyante,” she added.

“Our salute to our longtime partner, SM Foundation and SM Prime, for being so generous and proactive in providing us with school buildings that are conducive to learning. We are so grateful for your extended support to our school amidst the pandemic,” Balbon concluded.

SM Foundation, through its School Building Program, is an active partner of DepEd’s Adopt-a-School project. This social good initiative aims to promote quality public education by building classrooms nationwide.
