Good day, all! We need help on this.
We have an existing system that uses Victron BlueSolar Charger MPPT 150/85 VE.Can, Victron MultiPlus 48/5000/70-50, Color Control GX and lead-acid AGM battery. We are now going to replace the battery with BYD Premium LVL 15.4.
Is this possible with the existing system? What should also be the configuration of the charge controller and the MultiPlus?
Thank you!
Sorry @Jan Brix Castillo,
This configuration with the old style Blue Solar VE.Can MPPTs (the long ones with the screen) is not supported.
That range of MPPTs was previously compatible with earlier BYD models that used allow-to-charge contacts, but the new BYD LVL models require DVCC functionality, and this is only available on the new MPPT models.
Apologies for that, but the upgrade might need to include the new model MPPT as well.
Note: the Color Control GX (CCGX) also only has a single CAN-bus interface, and this is required for the BYD LVL, so unless using a Cerbo GX, you will need to use the VE.Direct MPPTs.
Thank you, @Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager). Much appreciated! Can you recommend what MPPT we can use to replace the old one?
