Peter J. Moll and his wife Elisabeth had to exhibit energy and talent for improvisation at the production site at Bad Staffelstein, as at that time there was a lack of raw materials, equipment, machinery and money. Barely a year later, the first motor vehicle battery left the factory: with a high proportion of recyclable materials from used batteries. The customer base quickly grew beyond the borders of Bavaria.

Production of maintenance-free MOLL Kamina battery, which was sold in millions, revolutionised the motorcycle industry. Further Moll special solutions all along characterised the market and required plant expansion at the Bad Staffelstein site.

Ocean Power deepwater battery for use at depths of down to 10,000 metres

Adapter flash arrestor, patented backfire protection

Gases are always produced when charging a lead-acid battery. The gases consist of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen and are ignitable. A lead-acid battery must therefore have an opening for degassing, to which a degassing hose is usually connected for the safe discharge of the gases and the acid aerosols carried along. To prevent re-ignition from the outside, e.g. by a spark, there is a frit in the plug-in adapter, hence the name adapter frit. The frit is a porous body made of non-flammable material. The porous body is permeable to gases, but the channels are so small that the distances to the channel wall are smaller than the so-called "extinguishing distance". Re-ignition from the outside is thus no longer possible.

Battery state determination (BSD) system. The BSD system continuously measures current, voltage, temperature, etc., and also calculates the correct state of charge (SoC) of the battery.

Using this information, the vehicle electrical system can be controlled by the connection and disconnection of consumer loads, so that no negative charge balance occurs. OBJECTIVE: to maintain the battery fully charged by switching off unnecessary consumer loads and regulating the generator voltage.

Development of double-lid type K2 (non-spillable battery), new development of highest protection against leakage in accordance with the stringent requirements of the automotive industry.

VRLA/AGM batteries for the automotive industry. Designed for the most demanding use in vehicles with high energy requirements or for tough continuous operation.

Development of enhanced flooded batteries for the automotive industry. Ideal for environmentally-friendly start-stop vehicles and their specific requirements. MOLL EFB technology combines the advantages and robustness of traditional lead-acid batteries with a superior capacity and a lifespan over three times longer.

The MOLL XTRA Charge has been designed to charge almost twice as fast as conventional batteries, especially at low states of charge, thanks to Nano Carbon Technology, which has a significant effect on battery life. This also applies to low charging voltages, making the MOLL XTRA Charge particularly suitable for older vehicles. The excellent cold-cranking performance of the MOLL XTRA Charge ensures driving pleasure even in winter.

MOLL, the inventor of the modern EFB, sets new standards with the product innovation MOLL AFB start-stop. The MOLL AFB start-stop is based on the MOLL EFB technology and has been specifically adapted to the AGM on-board network behaviour. The newly developed active mass formulations ensure higher charge acceptance and improved microhybrid capability compared to the AGM battery. Combined with the corrosion-resistant alloys, this ensures excellent temperature stability and high cold-cranking performance.

This makes the MOLL AFB the „better AGM battery”.

The MOLL SLI classic is the inexpensive alternative to our MOLL XTRA charge for standard applications that do not require particularly high cold start performance. The MOLL SLI classic is exactly the right choice if you have a standard application but still value the highest quality. Due to the fast charging thanks to the nano-carbon technology, the MOLL SLI classic is also well suited for older vehicles or for vehicles with frequent short trips. We also use OE quality for the MOLL SLI classic, thus achieving maximum service lives.

Due to its special design, the MOLL HOT climate achieves a significantly longer service life in hot climates compared to standard batteries. The very good corrosion resistance, even at high temperatures, is achieved by special lead alloys and the proven, robust gravity casting technology. Due to its very low water consumption in combination with specially developed active masses, the MOLL HOT climate is especially suitable for hot climates.

The new innovative MOLL product line for trucks, light-commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery combines state-of-the-art technologies with over 78 years of experience in battery development and manufacturing. Through the use of special alloys, improved active materials and modern manufacturing methods, the MOLL EFB Super Heavy Duty (Enhanced Flooded Battery) offers an unprecedented combination of performance, longevity and reliability.

MOLL has become an expert in battery technology and is an important partner for the automotive industry. A constant flow of awards from testing laboratories such as ADAC and Stiftung Warentest (a German consumer organisation), etc. confirm the high quality of our "Made in Upper Franconia" products.
