SiO2 Batteries and High Amp Draws
SiO2 is a specialty battery type that most folks would have no use for vs the usual RV battery types. They cost a lot too.( I had a special reason to get one) Here is some info on them --I am not s...

BFL13,
AGM taper later than flooded. I suspect SiO2 taper later than AGM. There are now Li batteries using SiO2 anodes--for greater capacity and faster charging.
I'm happy with low and slow. Only once every 30 days would I need to get to 100%. With dual banks that is easy with the current technology I have in place.
I'd be tempted to get a pair of the largest SiO2 (270 amp hours), instead of multiple 100 amp-hour units. I would have to charge "one at a time" on that monthly schedule. It is more expensive to do so as there is a discount on multiple 100 amp-hour jars.
I look forward to hearing the results of your testing.
