BYD Premium LVL 15.4 to Victron Compatibility

It appears BYD will end the B BOx Pro 13.8 and the above 15.4 is replacing it.

Has this new model been connected by anyone in the Victron community and is it as straight forward to set up as the old B Box Pro 13.8?

The Victron Compatibility page does not have the new battery listed yet.

Hi,

from what I have been told the new generations of Byd will be just as easy to set up and infact easier in the 2.56 unit replacements.

We have the new units on order but not expecting them for month or so due to the extension of the Chinese New Year. Luckily we still have the 13.8s here.

We haven´t uploaded many documents for now but we will add the remaining documents after the extended holiday period so please keep an eye on the website of your local service partner (EFT, Alps power or afriplus) for the up to date installation documentation.

The new units have been designed with all your past feedback in mind. So feel free to post or let us know what you think about the ease of installation and the new service capabilities.
