BYD LVL 15.4 battery box premium

Hi

I am planning to upgrade my Multi ii gx 5k to a multi 15k. The Victron battery compatibility list shows all Multis and Quattros are compatible. However the BYD minimum configuration document only lists the 3 and 5k models.

My question is should I go with the Quattro or the Multi (my preferred choice).

Thanks

BYD

Thanks. that is the purpose of my question. The BYD minimum configuration document says that only the 3 and 5k models are supported. I wonder if this is because the battery has a max charge current of 70a, and a continuous output of 250a. All the models above 5k are above the charge limit. This would be a bit strange as the charge current limit can be set in the BMS. I would expect to be able to set the max current draw in VE bus settings. I am planning to add a second battery at some point which should allow for more amps to be drawn. Any help would be great

Thanks

Not sure where you're looking, they are all on the Victron doc:
