Two-electron storage #46

Hey guys,

Just started test-driving RFBZero. Thank you for writing this up - really nice work. I wonder if you could add features to allow for multiple plateaus (discrete electron transfers) on charge/discharge; for example, a viologen undergoing two-electron cycling. I suppose a second "ocv_50_soc" would be defined. I realize including degradation mechanisms for a third redox species might get tricky...but an option for dimerization into a still-electroactive but lower voltage discharging species would be helpful as well.

Thanks again! Nick H

Thanks for mentioning this, we've had a similar ask in the past and would like to see this functionality at some point. We anticipate it to be a significant change, but it's definitely on our radar.
