So I am curious to get some ideas/direction on the care and feeding (aka charging and use) of lead-carbon batteries.
They seem to be a fairly new design, with what would appear to be some real advantages for stationary uses (high current charging and draw, high cycle counts, much cheaper than Li alternatives). However I have not found much in the way of detailed info on their charging and care details. I don't know if that is because they are similar in those regards to standard Pb AGM batts, or if they just have not been around and used enough for folks to become familiar with them.
In particular, I am wondering how I should vary their charging from what I would use on a standard AGM batt pack. And also to what degree one can draw down their SOC and how that effects cycle life. If anyone has any thoughts on these (or anything else regarding Pb-C batts) I'd like to hear.
TIA
