Finally got round to doubling up the bank in the hut. Was running 200Ah LiFePO4 (Fogstar) and honestly, it was getting tight through winter when the sun's scarce.

Same here with the shepherd's hut. Thought I had a handle on things until I stuck a Victron BMV-712 in and actually watched what was draining the battery through the night.
Battery costs are the real wildcard, yeah. @Cleggy's right to push back on that.
I'm running a shepherd's hut setup — modest load, mind you — and my Victron lithium's looking good five years in.
