SiO2 Charging Profile
56.5 constant amps in Bulk is 28% charging rate--expect lower rate to run to a higher SOC before tapering but take longer over all. Here is the old ugly graph again showing 55 amps on a pai...

Ty BFL13,
Useful information.
I'd be tempted to stop at 80% myself.
Yes 40 - 80s is 40% too and save gen time
Note this is not much use with solar No constant amps and amps taper from noon as sun lowers regardless of battery SOC
Ok so I am not sure if this applies as much to SiO2, maybe some one can tell me as there is nothing showing up on a google search, but I see a lot of people only charging normal batteries to 80% all the time are you not worried about sulfication.
if you do this continuously, or even just store the battery with a partial charge, it can cause sulfating which reduces the capacity of acid batteries.
