Summary of Contents for Victron Pylontech UF5000

  • Page 1 US3000, US2000C, US3000C, US5000, US5000B, UF5000, Pelio-L, UP5000, Phantom-S, Force-L1 & L2 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 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.

After a time-out, the MPPT will stop charging and flash an error code on its LEDs. The error code is error #67: BMS.

The 'charge current limit' (CCL) as shown in the parameters screen (and received from the BMS, by the GX device, via DVCC) will be the ceiling, and the system will try its best not to exceed that (as much as it can - it may spike under momentary peaking conditions).

Troubleshooting If the system is not operating correctly, go through these steps. Step 0. If the Inverter/Charger or GX device does not switch on When the grid is connected there are two software controls to sustain voltage. The Minimum SOC (while grid is connected) set in the GX device, and the sustain voltage (set in the ESS assistant).

  • Page 14 Pylontech's BMS will restrict the Charge Current Limit of the battery in cold weather. The precise temperatures and limits are not published by Pylontech, but anecdotally from reports on Victron Community it would appear that batteries begin to be limited below 18 degree C, severely limited below 10 degrees C, and completely restricted from charging below 2 degrees C.
