Precisely why a Concorde cannot be lumped in with lesser batteries.
I do not have the resources to play with generator run times (Both my Kubota and the Lombardini cannot be used as rational substitutes) to arrive at fuel savings and hours of gen run time stable data platforms.
But one thing for damned sure the small 31 accepts 100+ amperes for the first 17 minutes and only backs off to 30-40 amperes after 35-40 minutes. It's the last 10 ampere hours that has it in the 12 or less amperes acceptance area. At around 94 - 96% it's at 8 amperes. Perfect for a solar panel finish. Or Harbor Freight Megawatt dessert plate.
The two-story starts off with 138 amperes acceptance with commensurately similar degrees of resistance at similar percentages of state of charge.
Now for the kicker
The Concorde stays cooler. At least fifteen maybe 22 degrees cooler than a flooded battery
