I'm satisfied with what I ended up with. One thing you lithos haven't mentioned
The charge Efficiency factor
You forgot my post on 22 Oct, page 5 of this thread. :)
"I forgot to say that I did not correct for charging efficiency AH count on recharge that the Trimetric uses for heat loss. I don't know what the diff is in heat loss for the SiO2 vs the flooded 27Dc type. IMO this would not be enough of a factor to skew the results of this test."
It could be enough of a difference I suppose--I shouldn't have said that without knowing for sure. That Li article said they run into "current density" issues with too much charging current, so that might be equivalent to amps going off to heat in a Flooded or AGM.
