How cold is too cold for LiFePO4?
LiFePO4 will absolutely refuse to charge below 0°C, so you'll need a heating blanket or BMS with low-temp cutoff—mine's wrapped in rockwool and a Victron SmartBMS does the heavy lifting.

LiFePO4 vs AGM — which should I choose?
Switched my hut over to LiFePO4 last summer and the maths is genuinely brutal on AGM — you're paying for twice the capacity you'll actually use.

How to choose an inverter/charger for a camper van
Your kettle's probably pulling 2-3kW on its own mate — you've basically got a hairdryer and a microwave having a fight while your inverter's trying to referee with one arm tied behind its back.
