There is nothing here that is specific to lithium in any way. Unlike lead the 'operating SOC range' doesn't matter at all for lithium, you can bounce between 0% - 100%, 0% - 50%, 30 - 80%, all you need is the capacity.
Well several folks on here have said they plan to stay in mid-range. Itinerant1 has warned to stay between the knees and that he usually stays above 35%
Doesn't change anything. You pick your own SOC range and go from there.
I don't go out of my way and use the mid range area it just happens 35% SOC seems were my use gets down to before it starts charging (1,280w solar goes along way even in winter) Many times over the years I've been in the 25% SOC range, that's always morning after making 2 pots of coffee (12c Mr coffee) and using the microwave for 5 minutes making breakfast.
Edit: 55-60% is my evening time SOC during winter months (mid Nov, Dec, early Jan) when I'll run the gen for an hour or so for a hold over charge. So morning time after the mentioned above morning routine they'll be enough power. I don't skimp on my power use.
