IOTA graph vs PD graph
OK, I came across two graphs posted here. Both happened to be in Salvo posts but I think one originated with Bigfootford. ANYWAY... I'm sure each graph has been discussed and dissected on its own...

Here's a graph battery resistance vs. SOC.
Around 75% SOC resistance starts to increase. The Iota determines boost exit when Vbat reaches (I believe) 14.6V. After this threshold is triggered, it will remain in boost for 15 min longer.
This means a lower rated current Iota should have a higher SOC when exiting boost. But I'm not 100% certain because the resistance curve quickly increases.
As far as the boost charging rate, I guess it comes down to what you're comfortable with. Just about all battery company charging graphs give C/10. Many go with C/3. I wouldn't do more than that.
