 Lithium also has the ability to accept massive amounts of charging. It will do so across the entire charging range, as lithium does not have an Absorption phase the way lead-acid does.  Lithium also has the ability to accept massive amounts of charging.

-Example:  200Ah of lithium could easily accept 200Ah+.  There are practical limitations on this, however. +Example:  200Ah of lithium could easily accept 200Ah+.  There are mitigating factors, however.

   * Because lithium can use about 80% of it's capacity instead of 50% for lead-acid, 120Ah of lithium is a common replacement for 200Ah lead-acid banks.  So the lithium bank would "only" draw 120A instead of 200A.   * Because lithium can use about 80% of it's capacity instead of 50% for lead-acid, 120Ah of lithium is a common replacement for 200Ah lead-acid banks.  So the lithium bank would "only" draw 120A instead of 200A.
