Lithium Batteries
Just downsized from a Class A DP to a Class B+. I got the residential fridge in the new motorhome so power when off the grid is going to be more of an issue that it was before. I’ve been looking at ...

“ As far as power goes 100 amp-hours is 100 amp-hours. However SiO2 may do larger discharge rates than LI. LI appear to be limited to about 1 C. ”
For clarity only, Per BattleBorn specs, “2C for 30 sec” (with nearly stable voltage), but I’m not sure how this compares with silicon dioxide?
Either way, it appears Silicon Dioxide is a viable LiFePo4 alternative based on both cost and on cold weather charging-discharging characteristics... JMHO

SiO2 9C for 5 seconds is the only figure I have seen. Kind of made my jaw drop as I'm planning either 400 amp-hours or 600. 400 x 9 = 3600 amps--I'd better have pretty thick wire!
I do know that published statistics are always going to be the "most favorable". Perhaps 3 tons of salt should be taken, too!
