Pylontech battery
The larger current generation Pylontech, with the same 54 volt upper limit as the rest of the line. Set absorption for that ceiling rather than for a generic LiFePO4 profile.

How many you need, by inverter
One pack accepts 100 amps. An inverter that can deliver more than that needs more than one, or the charge rate capped in settings. Both are valid, and the second one costs you charging speed on the short days when you need it most.
Manufacturer documentation names Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000, Victron Quattro 48/10000 for closed-loop operation with this pack.
Where the figures come from
Manufacturer documents: Pylontech product documentation. Figures here should be read against the revision that covers your serial number, because manufacturers revise specifications without changing the model name.

Questions people actually ask
How many Pylontech US5000 packs do I need?
One pack accepts 100 amps and holds 4.8 kWh. Match the pack count to your inverter’s charge current first, then check the energy. A Sol-Ark 15K at 275 amps would take 3 of them to charge at full rate.
Does the Pylontech US5000 do closed loop communication?
It publishes CAN, RS485. Manufacturer documentation names Victron MultiPlus-II 48/5000, Victron Quattro 48/10000 specifically.
How many can I wire in parallel?
The published limit is 16 units.
Which inverters pair cleanly with the Pylontech US5000?
None of the inverters tracked here clear all four checks with this pack. Most land on unverified because nobody has published the comms or surge figure, which is a gap rather than a fault.
