This is a place for a List about the BRIGHT SIDE of NiFe Land.
We have been getting a good taste of the Dark Side first

Mike touched on a big one when he spoke of staying in the High Charging Efficiency Zone
below the 80% (or so) Full mark - (SOC), State of Charge because of weak sunlight (or whatever).
This when he gets to fire his new NiFe Cells up.

Above 50% but below 80% is liable to change the game a little with what is said about the lousy Charging Efficiency compared with LA.
I'm guessing all that heat and bubbling is hurting the Charging Efficiency as bad or worse than the numbers do from below 50% SOC.
These ranges and NiFe Longevity are another Post.

As we saw with the Sandia National Labs study earlier, the Solar Panels can be wasting over half their time Struggling to TRY to Charge
the LA Battery they tested when it got anywhere near 80% SOC . This is a huge factor coming up some day.

With Lead Acid there can be a big price to pay without 'Finish Charging' every 5 days or so.
That subject deserves it's own Post elsewhere including What Ever Happened to the Huge L16 Study?
Who buried it and why?

Just how much sweeter is that NiFe 60% to 80% charging slot going to be compared to the 80% to 100% charging slot?

80 - 100% is where you get so much of the gassing with the Oxygen and the CO2 already in the Water getting busted up and transformed.
Then racing through the Electrolyte Chemicals looking for a hot marriage.

Someday we need a brief but better view of that Electrolysis and what it means.

So we should be able to stay in 'a better place' as far as taking advantage of the Solar Panels Charging Input and not dealing with
the batteries rejecting the power so much.
Resulting in POOR Charging Efficiency for the Last Leg of the Charging Process.

All that mess was in a desperate bid to avoid being a Victim of Battery Sulphation and Ruination with LA Batteries.

Has anyone ever published this elementary data on NiFe Charging Efficiency?
Not that I can find.

Then again you have to look long and hard with a lot of Lead Acid stuff as well.
A Lot of it is 'in house' and you just have to take their word.
