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...

I am currently researching Firefly's carbon foam technology for a client's replacement house bank. It looks real good in that the recover from 0%SOC is possible, but I have more study to do before I advise and write a quote. They seem to be a technical upgrade of AGM. Unfortunately, that is about all I know at this time.

Unlike SiO2, there is actually some independent research and validation of general carbon-foam electrode lead acid chemistry, and there is a clear documentation of what it is and how it works.

However, it seems like a really narrow set of circumstances where the cost differential would make it worth it relative to commodity FLA or AGM batteries, or the performance differential would work relative to LiFePO4. But maybe the specific application falls into this niche.
