Reed,
Yes, I have been perusing that article (and yes, I too have had the wrong understanding re; 'peruse'), and I gotta be totally honest here.
When I read,
" *CHARGING SPEED:
Very, very short current taper even with large current sources. Charge to nearly full before even attaining absorption voltage. This of course is entirely dependent on your charging voltage and your current source. We charge at 120A steady (160A alt set up to run at 120A continuously) and our current taper lasts only 30-35 minutes. Compare that to HOURS and HOURS of current limiting using a 120A charge source on 400Ah lead acid batteries. With a small charge source, like solar or wind, you will hit 99%+ SOC before any current limiting occurs. Our bank literally has to be chock full before our solar array can even get to 13.8V.... These batteries can take immense current, and charge extremely fast but really tend to do extremely well with .3C to .5C in charge current....."
I got so excited, I think I might have Pee'd my pants a little!!! :) lol!
