I agree that I don't get why the 500 is not a "part" of integrated charging that they offer for the rest of the line. I also agree that the 1000x is a better option, and will allow you more time on the Goal Zero and less stress on the Jeep. I've pieced together setups like yours in the past and the Goal Zero type of product is a game changer and a much better one box solution.i may be off base here, but i think the aux port option would do both. practically speaking the proposed Yeti wiring would still go to the the battery - right? the aux switch just turns the circuit off and on - i think?
i don't see why that would be the case and why they would limit the charging kit to 1000+? if you look at the whole lineup (yeti battery, solar line up, accessories) everything else is interchangeable and compatible across the system. my guess is that they just don't think that anyone would need this system for a battery that is this small. as mentioned previously, i may move up to the 1000x anyways - which would address that problem.
solar panel is dumb i think, so likely using the charge controller in the Yeti battery.
As for the Aux button question, it depends on how things are wired and how much current draw you need. To do what you plan (battery wired and a separate on/off circuit) could work with what you've got planned. The Yeti charger is setup to be powered all the time (but only use power if a box is connected) and may pull more current than what the Aux switch wiring is designed to provide.
