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...

"2 x faster! 3 hrs vs 6 hrs . So how far down in SOC is the starting point where you can charge it up to what SOC ? "Regular" 100AH batts take a very long time to get from 90 to 100% SOC. On generator (their sales pitch for less gen time) you stop the charge at 90 anyway. So what is the comparison in time for doing 50-90s?
Seems like a bogus sales claim to me! It could turn on where along in SOC it goes from constant amps to tapering amps. That is why we need the charging profiles to compare them.
Anyway, I will check for that with my SiO2s and see how it goes"
Ok graph in the other thread, but 50-90 was 90 min vs 139 min sort of more or less almost, so that is 65% of the FLA time not half the time, but it is still a lot.
BTW you can't say "2 times faster" when discussing generator time. It is not like eg, 60 mph vs 30 mph. What is meant is "half the time". Sales babble.
