Silicon dioxide lead crystal batteries are sold by Azimuth Solar in West Kelowna and were twice referred to me by friends and an rv specialist. I'm not 100% sure but i think Azimuth has patented this as I can't find other sellers. It is very new. DoD is around 85-100%, similar to lithium. A 100ah 12V weighs around 60lbs but are small, About $650 CAD. And they are meant for extreme cold weather, unlike lithium. They also charge very quickly.
As I am nearly set on buying one for my 200W solar array, I would love if Will showed us the science on these. The company is hiring a marketing manager still, that's how new it is. It's local, so I've heard about it, but I'm very curious if others have, ie. Americans? Again, if Will could acquire one it would be cool to see how they compare.
For me, the DoD and cold weather are the big selling points. Seems like a great compromise between agm and lithium, but I'm no expert!
