Ran a 200Ah Victron LiFePO4 in my shepherd's hut for two winters now. Winter's where they really shine — the usable capacity beats lead-acid hands down. Budget-wise, Renogy's decent value if you're watching costs. Main thing: work out your actual winter daily draw first, otherwise you'll overspec and waste cash.
Question
Affordable 200Ah LiFePO4 — what do you recommend?

Garden office is ideal for LiFePO4 — no weight concerns like with van/boat setups. That said, winter performance depends more on your charge rate than capacity. If you're undersized on solar panels, even 200Ah won't help much. What's your current panel wattage? Might be worth sorting that first before dropping cash on bigger batteries.
