Lithium-ion and solar panel life cycles?
With a lithium-ion battery is it better to run it down or keep solar plugged in? I have an Engel compressor refer/freezer that draws 36-37 watts when it runs..I also have a portable 100 watt solar ...

It looks like the SiO2 Grp 27 size 100ah Soneill battery has a max charge rate of 25amps
This would make them well suited to solar vs Big Amps via a generator?
Yes, but, anyone who boondocks would want more than one. I'll be planning on four--but might just jump to six, or seven. I may put one in the Chassis as well. But 4 would want 100 amps if they were hungry.
The other issue is the "big amps". So far as I am aware 100 amps @ 12 volts is about the limit for converters. So the generator would be loaded to about 1400 watts (boost mode from a 100 amp boondocker converter) maximum.
