Pylontech/Kodak Force-L1 Battery compatibility

Based on the Victron battery compatibility page, the Pylontech Force-L1 battery has been tested and is compatible with the MultiPlus-II 48/5000/70-50.

I'm from South Africa and here we don't get the Pylontech variant of the Force-L1 but rather a KODAK re-branded Force-L1 battery. They are virtually identical in spec and appearance. The KODAK is just a different color but I'm not sure if the MultiPlus will recognize it as a Pylontech battery or if the KODAK runs a different firmware on the BMS.

Does anyone have experience / knowledge on whether the KODAK branded Force-L1 will be compatible with the MultiPlus?

Hi sovere1gn, did you ever get this working? I have an issue with a Kodak Force L1 and Cerbo GX. The moment the Victron Type A comms cable is plugged in the BMS LEDs turn red and the BMS shuts down. I have physically lost 2x BMS like this.
