Hi Guy and Victron Team,
An installer is asking if BYD batteries can be connected to a Phoenix 3kW (VE Bus) inverter, 2 years old in an off-grid system. I'm assuming that if we update firmware and install a CCGX etc etc, it will operate ok?
Thanks again for your ongoing help

That configuration has not been thoroughly tested and won't be 'supported'. It is possible that if there are issues, BYD will not honour warranty on their battery.
It will probably work ok though.
What are the possible risks? The disallow discharge signal does not get communicated properly and the inverter continues to consume when it should 'overload'. In reality the battery BMS is likely to disconnect itself before any damage is done.
With those warnings in place, if you still go ahead, all other sizings of batteries should be done as for the equivalent multi.
Thanks Guy - much appreciated as usual! - 5 stars
