Summary of Contents for Victron Pylontech UP2500

  • Page 1 L1 & L2 Victron & Pylontech US2000, US3000 and Phantom-S The combination of Victron products with Pylontech lithium batteries has been tested and certified by the Victron and Pylontech R&D departments. General information about the battery is found in Pylontech's documentation.
  • Page 2: Minimum Battery Sizing Recommendations

    1.4 All VE.Direct BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT Chargers are compatible For proper operation, the Pylontech battery needs to be able to control the charge current. Therefor it is recommended to use Victron 48V compatible MPPTs models with VE.Direct port for charging. MPPTs with a VE.Direct port MPPTs are controlled via the device.
