Hi All,

I bought an inverter (sunsynk 8k hybrid) and I'm still looking for a good deal on a li-ion battery. I know I can safely go with a pylontech or dyeness and be done with it, but there are some other batteries that I have my eye on (averge, sun pays, etc.)

This inverter has a can bus port for communicating to the battery's bms which brings me to my question, which might be stupid 🤔: Will any battery with a can bus port will be able to communicate with a inverter that has a can bus port? Is the can bus just a general transport layer and each vendor implements their protocol on top of this? Or is it a standard protocol for cross vendor communication?

Maybe I'm making too big of a deal that the inverter has to communicate with the battery's bms?

 

Thanks

the Averge battery does not communicate with the sunsynk/dye inverter yet. They still working on the communication. I did test the before the lock down and averge said they will look into it.

Hi @Dion elect and @ManiLow  , do you know if the communication between sunsynk and averge battery is now available? Do I need to purchase specific cable?

Thanks
