Typically. Yes. But with these batteries from Scott they essentially mimic, replicate (or whatever the correct term is) from the BMS the Pylontech type. So essentially they should work on any inverter that accepts Pylontech and be able to accurately communicate. There are nuances though as I found out as well.
I have a Solis Hybrid and it too only has profiles for a specific list of batteries. For the longest time I did not have SOC reporting in my app because of the 'custom' battery. What Solis eventually did is connected to my inverter, loaded a new firmware and all was good since. No questions asked. I just told them battery not communicating well with inverter, they fixed it. That's why I'm inclined to think that with some firmware fuckery on the Sunsynk it can be made to work properly together.
Or
@ovisser1 , maybe you can get in touch with Scott and have some logs sent through to his battery techs. Maybe they can pick up the issue and resolve from the BMS side (?)
