Depth of discharge lithium vs AGM battery

Any battery experts here?

Depth of discharge with lithium battery question: Does this mean you can use down to 0% and charge it back up with out harming battery?
 
With any battery design, the lower you bring it the less cycles it has. AGM's start to be very unhappy below 50%, 80% for deep cycle.
Lithium's (LiFePO4) shouldn't go below 80%-90%.

Lithium's tend to hold up better than Lead acid when it comes to cycling low and their charge rate is better. Charge rate and temperature are critical though.

Remember with lithium batteries, they get cranky in cold weather. So make sure your battery has heater built into it.
