Just received my new solar rechargeable electric generator from 4Patriots. Now all I have to do is get the double expansion pack and 4 more solar panels. I'm almost there!

That is going to make it easy-peasy for you to have a working system.

One of the first things I did with my small Ecoflow? unit was charge it fully and use it until it needed recharge. Iirc these need to be cycled a few times to 'settle things in'. I found the AH/W rating correct.
We have used it several times for convenience and I am considering using just it for an upcoming 2 day/overnighter. To be clear though, we got the small 20#? unit to be a quick, handy portable power pack, and that it is.

That’s what I did with this. I plugged it into a wall outlet and charged it fully for the first charge, then put back in the box until I’m ready to use it for the first time.

Probably should just use it at home to cycle it and make sure it isn't going to fail at 1st cabin use

That's exactly what I did, plugged it in and fully charged it. That's what 4Patriots said I should do for the initial charge. The double expansion pack will provide more than enough power for my needs. I'm simply counting the day's now. My house is going on the market in a couple weeks and when it sells, I'll be free to pursue my off-grid tiny cabin dream!
