I've been running a Jackery 1000 Plus as my main battery/inverter unit through the summer with a couple of 200W panels on the roof of the shed, and honestly it's been brilliant.
Been running the same setup since last summer on my narrowboat — though I swapped one of the panels for a 250W and it's been pulling a solid 35-38A on good days without so much as a warm casing.

Brilliant thread this! Running a secondhand 12v system on my narrowboat so slightly different context but the principles are identical.
Great thread this. What I'd add to what @ExBrickie and the others have said is to pay attention to the shape of the voltage curve during discharge rather than just individual data points.
