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).

Mall of Asia (MOA) Complex: A sterling landmark of disaster resilience

· Leave a comment ·

We all know that the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) is a popular destination for unforgettable gastronomic and recreational experiences, but did you know that the 67-hectare Mall of Asia Complex where MOA stands is engineered to withstand disasters caused by natural hazards?

The foundation of the Mall of Asia Complex was built to be safe and secure because SM Prime Holdings, Inc., one of Southeast Asia’s largest integrated property developers incorporates disaster resiliency measures in every project, with the MOA Complex as one of its biggest investments.

SM Prime collaborated with a team of local and international experts to ensure the feasibility of both water and land before the MOA complex was built and once finalized, Belgium’s renowned coastal development construction company, Jan de Nul, developed it from the ground up.

The reputable Jan de Nul made sure the terrain was stable and the complex’s roads were made resistant to earthquakes and erosion, in accordance with the National Structural Code of the Philippines and approved by both the Philippine Reclamation Authority and the National Government.

Three important disaster resiliency features were used in protecting the Complex and the coastal community of Pasay from tides and waves: One, a three-kilometer seawall built to stand against liquefaction; two, a meter-high inverted wave return to serve as defense against high waves; and three, a drainage channel to prevent floods during storm surges. This was put to test when Typhoon Pedring hit in 2011, and the Mall of Asia Complex was spared from destructive waves and flooding that submerged many other surrounding establishments.
As an added feature, both the Complex’s main road and all its structures are elevated 4 meters above the parameters set by the National Building Code. Pilings strengthened its foundation and greatly improved its soil bearing capacity.

Family fun, leisure and entertainment are the objectives behind the awe-inspiring grandeur of SM Mall of Asia, but this vision is founded on a commitment to safety and a secure foundation throughout the Complex. This is a firm philosophy of SM Prime Chairman of the Executive Committee Mr. Hans T. Sy, a champion for disaster resilience, who continuously invests in DRR and in allocating 10% of the company’s expenditure for DRR in all of SM’s infrastructures throughout the country.

“Today, disasters have become more frequent and severe. The government and the private sector must work together to find solutions for greater resiliency. SM prime as a responsible property developer places Disaster Risk Reduction as one of its core strategies. It simply makes good business sense.” emphasizes Mr Hans Sy. He believes that not only is DRR an effective way to grow the business but it protects the communities where SM is located amid the increasing risks of climate change.

Today, the MOA Complex is a bustling realization of Mr. Henry Sy Sr.’s grand vision for it to become both a premiere integrated leisure destination with a complimentary business and lifestyle district – one of the country’s truly revolutionary mixed-use developments, and a thriving example of disaster risk reduction at work.

The next time you visit the MOA Complex – whether it is to visit the world’s largest IKEA, or to view the sunset from the top of the MOA Eye, or to simply shop and dine with your loved ones – it will be good to know that SM Prime has ensured your safety and security from the time the development was conceptualized and opened in 2006.. to today and tomorrow.

Crowdfunding an Alternative for Funding Medical Needs

· Leave a comment ·

Paying for medical bills has been burdensome for more people across the globe especially during this time of the pandemic. More than ever many people lack the capacity to finance a love one’s medical needs, worst is that most government fails to help at all. Where do people turn to when most of their family and friends are barely making it to survive? The advent of crowdfunding platforms practically solves most of this problem. Crowdfunding is designed to gather small help from a larger number of people via the internet through a different virtual platform. Should the traditional sources of funding be limited, crowdfunding might be the answer.

Airfunding, a global crowdfunding platform has been helping thousands of people get immediate funding for their medical bills. In 2020 alone, they have reached more than $300,000, and thousands of projects were created. Through different medical projects created on its platform, many are guaranteed to get help from its 10 million-plus subscribers. At present, Airfunding goal is to help more people achieve their aspirations of helping that love one finance that medical need or journey and that no one will be able to lose a loved one because there is no source of funds to continue treatment and medication.

Southeast Asian countries have a combined population of 550 million with very low health insurance coverage. Most government does not cover hospitalization and treatment at all, with this dilemma it is sad to note that majority of the people here are hopeless when it comes to hospitalization and medical care. Most people from this region do not have access to traditional funding and just let tragic fate take its toll. Crowdfunding sites such as Airfunding, understand this clamor for change wherein people can get help from non-traditional means such as crowdfunding.

Rankings by Revenue Places Kingston No. 1 with 78.02% Market Share

· Leave a comment ·

Kingston Technology, a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced it has been ranked top third-party DRAM module supplier in the world, according to the latest rankings by revenue from analyst firm TrendForce (formerly DRAMeXchange). Kingston retains its number 1 position with an estimated 78.02% market share on $13.2B (USD) revenue. TrendForce states that Kingston increased revenue by 2.03% YOY marking the 18th consecutive year that Kingston has held the top spot.

Kingston maintains its competitive advantage by working closely with its suppliers, partners, and customers to remain flexible and adapt to ever-changing needs and market conditions. A driving force to Kingston’s success is their working attitude of ‘Kingston Is With You’. As one of the leading buyers of DRAM chips in the world, Kingston saw an early need for memory chips in certain markets and took a proactive approach to secure additional components needed for the potential demand such as purchasing component inventory that was bogging down their partner’s warehouses. The popular thought in early 2020 was that the technology sector would slow down due to the pandemic, but Kingston took the initiative to be prepared for those segments that would require additional DRAM; work from home PCs, gaming memory, and server farms that needed more memory for the onslaught of online purchases and activity.

Additionally, with the next generation of DDR fast approaching, Kingston is primed to provide customers with the cutting-edge speeds of DDR5. Kingston’s strong relationship with Intel will help ensure “stride for stride” solutions with Intel’s latest product launches.

“TrendForce’s findings reflect the company’s continued growth and flexibility to tackle a challenging business climate” said Kingston. “Our leading position in the market allows us to collaborate closely with our partners and vendors, and to provide education and guidance on new technology, like 16Gbit modules and the upcoming DDR5 launch, to our customers.”
