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...

In the interest of discovery (i.e. vendor Betta’s sage advisory...), it appears that SiO2’s charging parameters may for many rule out the solar harvesting option... On a different note, I’m not sure whether a standard SOC meter (with FLA algos) would be compatible with SiO2 or not?? (I’ve not found any info)...I emailed this question to a popular vendor but as of yet have have not received a response (so much for email format I suppose :) )

The battery monitors (assuming coulomb counting like Victron) don't care what the chemistry is, they just count energy (or current) in and out and keep a running total, so they should work just fine. There maybe some tweaking needed to get a reasonable SOC estimate, but I am sure it is good enough.
