Good day.
I am aware that 13.8kWh is compatible with Victron Energy products.
I want one find out if the B-Plus L 3.5 (3.5kWh modules) are compatible for use in a hybrid/offgrid solar, single phase system.
Thank you.

Grid connected - yes,
Hybrid backup - yes,
Offgrid - no.
EDIT - The Victron BYD Battery Manual has now been updated to include this battery -

I am also interested in these batteries.
Please can you elaborate on the difference between "Hybrid back-up" and "Offgrid".
Specifically, if I lost the grid in a hybrid grid tied situation would these batteries work to keep me with power?
This is a VERY unsatisfying answer but the definition of Hybrid-Backup is the grid is connected MOST of the time, with occasional blackouts.
Beyond that, if you want a robust power supply, it should be designed as if it WAS off grid, with regards to inverter sizing, kWh and current limits of the batteries.
For this particular model you will require the grid connection.
Thanks for the attempt.
The attraction of these particular batteries is the very fact of their ability to scale up to 42 KWh to meet the requirement of being off-grid.
Their currents limits & cycling capability seem suitable too, so yes I am still a bit puzzled as to why they are deemed unsuitable.
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
