I have a 100ah lithium battery, 100w panel, 1100 watt energizer inverter and a 75/15 mppt.
My question is how do i prevent the inverter from completely depleting the battery. I can control the output of the mppt but not the inverter.

you could use a victron smart battery protect:

Can't be used for an inverter - it is uni-directional.
From the manual:
Under no circumstances is it permitted to connect inverters or inverter/chargers to a SBP via their DC inputs, a reverse current may flow that damages the SBP. In case you want to control an inverter or inverter/charger via a SBP, you must use the SBP to control the inverter or inverter/charger via its remote port
Get a victron inverter, then you can set a shutdown limit, that will power off the inverters at a set SOC or voltage, and leave them off until a restart voltage is achieved.
Or control them both via a GX.
In any case, as a Victron forum, we can't help with the 3rd party device.
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
