Victron Quattro 48/5000 with Dyness B4850

Home / Comparisons / Victron Quattro 48/5000 with Dyness B4850
Pair check
Unverified: Partial match, some fields unverified.

Checked as a bank of 2 packs, which is the smallest number that accepts this inverter’s 70 amp charge current. Fewer packs still run the system, with the charge rate capped in inverter settings.

Full specifications: Victron Quattro 48/5000 and Dyness B4850.

The four checks

Voltage window: Overlapping window 44 to 54 V

The inverter operates from 38 to 66 volts and the battery cuts off outside 44 to 54 volts. Both stay inside 44 to 54 volts, which covers a normal LiFePO4 charge and discharge cycle with margin at both ends.

Match

Charge current: 70 A into a 100 A limit

The inverter tops out at 70 amps and the battery accepts 100 amps, so a default install cannot overrun the pack. Adding batteries in parallel raises the accepted current further.

Match

Surge rating: Battery surge figure unpublished

A surge to 10000 watts draws roughly 208 amps at 48 volts. This battery publishes a 100 amp continuous rating and no separate surge figure, and continuous is the wrong number to check a motor start against. Confirm the peak rating and its duration with the manufacturer before running motor loads.

Unverified

Closed-loop communication: Both speak CAN, no document names the pair

The inverter and the battery both support CAN. Neither manufacturer publishes a document naming the other unit, and a shared bus standard is not a shared message format. It may well work on the bench. Confirm the protocol setting with both manufacturers before relying on BMS control.

Unverified

What this means when you install it

Set the inverter charge current to 70 amps or less. That is the inverter maximum, which this bank can absorb. Protect the battery run with a 125 amp Class T fuse and 2 AWG cable wired to a busbar rather than daisy chained, so all 2 packs share current evenly.

Both units, current pricing

Prices on these move week to week, and the battery is usually the line item worth watching.

Questions people actually ask

Will the Victron Quattro 48/5000 work with the Dyness B4850?

Partial match, some fields unverified. Checked as a bank of 2 packs, which is the smallest number that accepts this inverter’s 70 amp charge current. Fewer packs still run the system, with the charge rate capped in inverter settings. The four checks below show which field produced that result.

What does this pairing cost to wire up?

Beyond the two units, a 125 amp Class T fuse and holder, 2 AWG battery cable cut to matched lengths, and a busbar if you are running 2 packs. A comms cable if you intend to attempt closed loop, and the pinout is rarely the same between brands.

Where does this pairing go wrong in practice?

The inverter and the battery both support CAN. Neither manufacturer publishes a document naming the other unit, and a shared bus standard is not a shared message format. It may well work on the bench. Confirm the protocol setting with both manufacturers before relying on BMS control.

What charge current should I set?

The inverter tops out at 70 amps and the battery accepts 100 amps, so a default install cannot overrun the pack. Adding batteries in parallel raises the accepted current further.
