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...

My initial understanding was that SiO2’s do not sulfate, meaning that equalizations are not necessary??

Not sure. ISTR they have a little acid (5% comes to mind) in them even with mostly some other kind of chemistry so you still have to get them Full every so often. Would have to dig into all that stuff we looked at back in 2020 to clear that up.
Found this on Azimuth:
The non-corrosive electrolyte in SiO2 batteries forms crystalline salts when charged/discharged. SiO2 batteries use 95% less sulphuric acid than Lead Acid batteries. They are essentially a “dry-cell” battery with no liquid to freeze, spill or off-gas
Getting confusing whether it is the battery that needs to go to Full or for the monitor to reset that. Both. LFPs still both but it is to balance them and reset the monitor not to desulfate them as the reason.
