I have a Tab 360 and have seen multiple recommendations on what to do with the battery in the winter. I live in Montana with cold weather temps. For the winter I will cover my tab so no solar power will trickle into the battery. My question is should I charge my battery to 100% or 50%-75% before covering or Should I pull the battery out which is a pain because the way the 360 is designed, I will need to take out the seat which has multiple screws and I would like to avoid that. Thanks for any assistance.

I've always figured the cost of these lithium batteries warrant storing inside in the winter. If you can find the manufacturer's recommendation, it should give you a direction to go.

I recently installed two 12.8v Eco-Worthy Lithium. I am using the original RV charger (2019 - 400) and the solar panel. The Victron controller voltages were adjusted to suit. So far all is working well, xcept the batteries sit at 100% when the RV is in the storage yard and for several weeks at a time.
I watched a UK video based on the Victron mptt 75/15 controller. It showed an option to select a Charge Profile; one for In Use, and a second for Storage. For the second the charge voltage was adjusted to maintain a desired SOC ie 50 - 60% for long term (winter) storage. I cannot find this option on my controller. Has anyone found the Charge Profile options ?
The local Victron dealer in Toronto advised to deplete th3 batteries to the recommended SOC and disconnect both the battery and controller. He saw no benefit in adjusting the charging voltage to maintain 50 60% SOC. This works if you do not intend to use the batteries when visiting or for routine RV maintenance.
