As to why Lithium- mainly the 80% depth of discharge that caught my eye cf 50% for agm.
XR500 is that a brand of battery or a type that you mentioned?

Not 50% for AGM long life, more like 10-20% DOD. I chose lead carbon as it's basically heavy duty AGM. Typically only using 20% DOD each night but the lead carbons and repeated handle >50%, even 80% for the consequetive cloudy days or snow
