https://www.victronenergy.com/live/battery_compatibility:can-bus_bms-cable

Also While I here is this going to work. As the Minimum Venus firmware for Pylontech Pelio is listed in the first table of the pylontech manual as "imminent"

Just skip the ground connection if you are making your own. The ground is the only difference between the two types.

Then if it works it works.... If not i guess it may be in the works...? If it is not on the list it may be that it hasn't been tested in Victron R&D - so not officially supported. And you can always ask Pylontec for their answer.
