GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT BATTERY

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MF AND SMF TYPE OF BATTERY

Both are Maintenance Free battery. With the production technology, quality of raw materials and lead, and design of battery components, it yields a different type of Maintenance Free. The SMF (Sealed Maintenance Free) is of higher performance capability than the MF, hence once the production processes are completed, the SMF requires no ports for distilled water filling. It can be briefly concluded that:
MF battery comes with ports and opening/closing caps for distilled water filling
SMF battery is without ports and caps, and requires no distilled water filling throughout the life of usage.

HOW MANY YEARS IS THE BATTERY LIFE

In Thailand’s humid and hot weather, the battery life is 2 years+, based on the condition of ordinary usage, electrical system and condition of wirings and gadgets are not damaged, or short-circuited. The actual life depends on the load of the usage, temperature, and traffic condition as determinants.

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF THE THICKER PLATE

Battery plate composes of 2 major components i.e. the frame, and the plate body. Therefore, the thicker the plate, it endures better against the corrosion through the usage. The thicker frame enhances the better holding of the plate body, including helps better flow of electrical current, hence, it establishes better strength of the current and prolongs the usage life.

WHAT IS THE CCA VALUE

It is the power of the battery in engine ignition, the higher the CCA value, the higher the power in engine ignition.

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BOLIDEN BATTERY AND THE SUITABILITY TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF VEHICLES

ACTIVO MF

This is the only 100% genuine MF type (Maintenance Free) in Thailand. It is a Dry Charge type with plate frame made of calcium for both positive and negative. The plate is pre-charged from the factory. Prior to first use, fill the diluted sulfuric acid (electrolyte liquid) as per instruction in the manual. Then you would get a fresh battery ready for use.
The plate frame of Activo MF is 30% thicker than other MF batteries and hence increases the endurance, battery power and ease of engine ignition. It renders a longer life and consumes minimal distilled water and, in normal usage, requires no filling throughout the usage life.***
This type of battery is suitable for commercial vehicles i.e. trucks, medium size and bigger buses, transportation boats, fishing boats, and large size machineries.
(***in case of heavy use, check the liquid acid level every month; if falls below MIN, add distilled water but not to exceed MAX level)

DYNAMIC MF

This is the 100% genuine MF type (Maintenance Free). Pre-filled with liquid acid from factory for ready use once unpacked. We are the first leader in manufacturing and distributing the Maintenance Free Dynamic MF battery in Thailand. Currently, with XTREMEBOOST™ technology and 30% thicker plate frame than other brands, it renders higher CCA value and power, easy and quicker storing of the charge. This type consumes minimal distilled water, therefore it lessens the burden of care, requiring no distilled water filling throughout the usage life**
Convenient in preliminarily checking battery status using the INDICATOR to find out if it is fully charged or should be charged, or if water dries up. DYNAMIC MF type provides additional safety having gas vent and connection hose to flow out of passenger compartment and disposed at a safest spot. This type of battery is therefore suitable for passenger cars or pickups the owners of which do not have adequate caring time.
(**INDICATOR on the cover is in black color, peel off the sticker, open the cap and one can check the water level in the cell and add but be careful not to exceed the upper limit)

SILVERTECH SMF

This is a 100% genuine SMF (Sealed Maintenance Free), with superior specifications to ordinary MFs.
With innovative SILVERFORCE™, the frame of the lead plate is mixed with pure silver substance, thereby enhancing the sturdiness and good current flow. The frame of plate is 40% thicker and larger, which provides SIVERTECH SMF stronger power, lasting longer, and consuming minimal water. With feature of 3-layer top with the middle layer as internal Labyrinth system (gases collection channel), user is confidently assured that there would be no acid leak. And without requiring water filling throughout the battery life, there is no filling port.
Suitable for general passenger cars and pickups that need high battery power and convenience that owners do not need to spend much time of care.

SILVERTECH SMF-PRO

This is a 100% genuine SMF type (Sealed Maintenance Free) having long-lasting power, and superior to ordinary SMFs.
With innovative SILVERFORCE™, the frame of the lead plate is mixed with pure silver substance, thereby enhancing the sturdiness and good current flow. The frame of plate is especially over 50% thicker and larger. The SILVERTECH SMF-PRO provides higher power and longer reserve and thus longer endurance. It consumes minimal water. The 3-layer top consists the internal Labyrinth system (gases collection channel). User is confidently assured that there would be no acid leak. And without requiring water filling throughout the battery life, there is no filling port.
Suitable for LUXURY CARS or other cars using a lot of gadgets beyond OEM-specified, requiring high power and longer reserve, and alleviating too much battery care.

BOLIDEN TECHNOLOGY

SILVERFORCE™ TECHNOLOGY

BOLIDEN’s specially designed SILVERFORCE plate frame (mixed with pure silver substance) provides strength and endurance of the plate, good current flow. When used in extreme temperature, it provides longer life and high power.

XTREMEBOOST™ TECHNOLOGY

With special additive, it helps perfect the functioning of the plate. Quicker charging and easy handling in all situations, thus prolonging battery life.

ULTRASONIC TECHNOLOGY WITH 3-LAYER TOP

Minimize the loss of distilled water. Provides safety against acid liquid overflow or spill.

WHAT IS LABYRINTH SYSTEM (GASES COLLECTION CHANNEL) IN BOLIDEN SILVERTECH?

SILVERTECH SMF AND SIVERTECH SMF-PRO are specially designed for the top cover. It provide a winding channel for gases to circulate and become liquid and flow back to the battery cells, thus eliminating the overflow or spill of the liquid acid.

WHY BOLIDEN’S PLATE IS THICKER THAN OTHE BRANDS, HOW IS IT BETTER?

It endures the corrosion during use, prolongs battery life and provides higher power.

WHY BOLIDEN HAS THE SUPERIOR BATTERY POWER?

Boliden’s thicker and larger plate including the patented technology renders higher CCA value than other brands compared from identical car model and identical amperage.
