I don't know how much of the SiO2 "info" is hype. I tested mine to make sure it would do what I wanted from that info, and it did (as reported here last Fall)
I did a steady 65 amp draw on the single 100AH batt and it ran that for over half an hour till the inverter alarmed. Battery voltage bounced back to 11.70v resting, which is 20% SOC on their table of volts/SOC.
Their discharge table says you can pull 67 amps for 45 minutes to the end voltage per cell of 1.85 or 11.1v batt, so that ties in with what I saw.
I don't know about the rest of their claims for how many times you can do that, etc. I do know you can't do that with an ordinary AGM, so I am happy. Have to wait a few years to see how it holds up in service.
let me get this right, you did a 65 amp draw on a 100 amp sio2 for 1/2 an hour. so you should have pulled 32.5 AH out fo that battery but you said after it recovered it was at 20% SOC? does that not set off bells to you, should it not have been around 65-70% SOC after it recovered?
