While your are correct in charging methods, for the rating they just refer to it as C. for those more interested in the topic: https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries Now the caveat is, that is for cobalt blended batteries which are the more common Li-ion you will find, however in recent years most manufactures are switching to Li-ion chemistries that have no cobalt. While i don't know the specifics of how that affects the charge times I do wonder what effects it has.

This needs some correction, 1C charging would take 1 hour as C is the rating for 1 hour of discharge/ or charge. If it takes 3 hours then they are Charging at C3 which means 1/3 C (Battery rating are really really stupid sometimes) now to Charge at 1C for a the battery in a tesla you would need some insane power i don't even think the super chargers can achieve it. Also for damaging Li-ion batteries, charging above 80% capacity and discharging below 20% do far more damage than quick charging. If you can limit the charge cycle to stay within those ranges Li-Ion batteries can last close to 5 times the cycles than if you are charging and discharging from 100% to 0%. (Tesla's have a built in charge limiter that prevent the battery from being charged to 100% unless you specify for the battery to take a full charge, this helps keep the batteries lasting longer and for everyday commutes and most trips as you don't need the battery topped to 100% unless your going on a road trip.)

I'm hoping this breakthrough comes to fruition; https://news.utexas.edu/2017/02/28/goodenough-introduces-new-battery-technology/ Was Co-researched with the original inventor of the LI-Ion battery and his under study Maria Helena Braga. If the improvements come to be would be a huge leap in battery tech. The improvements that tech could bring would make EV's better then ICE in almost every manner. Personally I just want a retrofit kit so I can keep my current truck but convert it to electric. (and not buying the cyber truck way to ugly, same with the rivian, though the Altis truck looks really nice.)

Bump as this got knocked way back and no answer. Also to the mods, should this be in the Audio section? (technically the question is about the motherboard but the overall gist is audio in nature).

So my current predicament is that I'm stuck using a sound card still as i need my optical output encoded the DTS or DDL(Dobly Digital Live) to get a 5.1 audio stream. I wanted to just use the on board sound and finally ditch my Creative X-Fi Titanium card but it seems ASUS doesn't support encoding the audio stream to DTS or DDL (it will switch to 5.1 etc if the source is pre-encoded to it but that means for games it ignores it and stays on 2.1). Current Path of my optical goes from my sound card, to my Astro A50 base station then another optical cable from the pass through to my Logitech Z906 speakers, might only need DDL and not DTS or the other way around (i think the A50's only decode one of the standards). But anyways if anyone has any advice on how to get the on board audio to always encode to either standard would be greatly appreciated. (otherwise i'm more or less stuck with this sound card for the foreseeable future).
