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.
This manual is intended to be used in conjunction with the product manual supplied by Pylontech. It
provides additional and specific information regarding integration with Victron systems.
The Pylontech includes a Battery Management System (BMS) with each battery module. This
interfaces with the Victron

- Page 2 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.

Some suggested battery sizings for common Victron inverter/chargers are listed below. These are suggestions for reliable operation for single phase off grid and are not specified by Pylontech. Using the above formula, an example of minimum system sizing based on the US2000 battery module is below. - Page 4 15:26 You can connect multiple battery modules together to form a single large battery by connecting the RJ-45 cable supplied by Pylontech using the link ports on the battery. This is shown in more detail in example wiring diagram and Pylontech manual.

Some GX devices (such as the Cerbo GX), have multiple CAN ports. If your GX device has a BMS-Can port, this should be used.

- Page 7 For example, If each battery is rated to 25A charge current, and the menu shows a 75A charge current limit ( 75 / 25 = 3 ) means there are 3 Pylontech battery modules connected. In off-grid systems, the inverter will prioritise running the load, and potentially exceed this Discharge Current Limit.
- Page 8 When using the latest firmware on all compatible connected devices, and once the battery module has been detected by the GX device, battery charging parameters (e.g. Maximum Charge Current, Target Battery Voltage, etc) are automatically configured by the Pylontech BMU, and communicated to the rest of the Victron components in the system via DVCC.

2023-06-21 15:26 Hardware Protection Points In normal operation, the charge parameter limits are set by the Pylontech battery and communicated through the system by the GX device to the inverter/charger and MPPT. Low Voltage: When the battery discharges to 44.5V or less, battery protection will turn on. -

If the Inverter/Charger or GX device does not switch on When the grid is connected there are two software controls to sustain voltage. - Page 12 Step 2. Check that the Pylontech battery is ready for use Check the Max Charge Voltage parameter. This voltage parameter is sent, together with the other three parameters, by the Pylontech system via the CAN-bus cable. They are visible on the device: Device List →...
- Page 13 Pylontech battery requests a charge voltage of 53.2V. We have however found that in practice this is too high. The Pylontech battery has 15 cells in series, so 53.2V equates to 3.55V per cell. This is very highly charged and makes the system prone to go overvoltage.
