I Finally found out the Actual 1 hour rating of the Trojan 100 Ah SCS150 12V Battery! It looks like Trojan Document MFSCS-6/01 and compares the Trojan SCS Series - the 150, the 200, and the 225: Group 24, 27, and 31 - Respectively, showing their performance from 1 - 25 hours!
It is rated at just 30 Amps for 1 hour! That is just 30 Amp Hours when compared to the 1 hour test ratings of the Lithium Iron Phosphate Cells! So the Blog Post - comparing the ThunderSky 40 Ah cells to the Trojan 100 Ah Cells - is not realy so bad after all - with 33% More Energy to 100% DOD versus the Lead Acid, and - interesting enough - the PRC-1255A Batteries I just tried in the car, as a new set - had a spec rating at 1 hour of 32.1 Ah - even more than the Trojan 100 Ah Batteries, and they are rated at just 55 Ah! Plus - the Weights:
Trojan SCS150 Group 24 100Ah rating at 20 hours (30 Ah at 1 Hr) Battery Weights 50 Lbs each x 8 = 400 Lbs.
Power Battery PRC-1255S, with a 55 Ah Rating at 20 Hours (32.1 Ah at 1 Hr), Weighs just 44 lbs per battery x 8 = 48 lbs less at 352 Lbs!
The Thundersky 40 Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate puts out a full energy of 40 Ah to 100% DOD at 1 Hr, and weighs just a maximum of 1.6 Kg per cell x 32 cells = 51.2 Kg = 112.64 Lbs!! just 2.25 Trojan Batteries weight by comparison!
