SiO2 white paper anyone??
I’ve been trying in earnest to obtain an independently sourced (e.g. impartial, non-vendor sourced) White Paper study that explains (empirically) the operating characteristics of SiO2 battery technolo...

So as not to further derail the other thread (about a BMS issue), I thought this may be of interest here:
Lead Crystal Battery Charging Requirements
Assuming 'Lead Crystal' is the same as 'SiO2' is the same as 'Silicone' and what ever else they are called, doesn't this indicate a major problem for using these in an RV, particularly with solar?
Note the C10 rate of 30% is about 27% at the 20 hr rate so the "standard limit" for charging the 100AH batt (at the 20 hr rate) is 27 amps, not 30.
One of the blurbs did say you could charge it at a much higher rate and it would not hurt the battery if you didn't do it for too long . They didn't say how long is "too long" of course. I guess you know when it fries that was too long :)
I had to use my lower amp charger with the one 100, but now with two I can use my 55 amp converter. It would take a lot of solar to do 55 amps! (860 watts approx)
