Deye Approved Battery List (2026): Versions, Setup Codes & Off-List Reality

Deye publishes its approved battery list as a PDF. That is the whole user experience: a scanned document, dozens of brands in a small table, two separate files depending on your inverter, and a version number in the corner that changes several times a year. If you are holding a specific battery and trying to answer one question — is this on the list, and what do I set on the inverter — the PDF makes you work for it. This guide turns that document into something you can actually read, and answers the three questions it never does.

Quick answer: Deye maintains two approved battery lists — a low-voltage list for 48V systems (current version DY-LV48-0109, issued 24 July 2025) and a separate high-voltage list for SG01HP3-series inverters (DY-HV(160-800)-021). The LV list carries 80+ approved brands, including BYD, LG, Pylontech, Dyness, PYTES, Weco, JINKO, Fox ESS and Deye’s own packs. Almost every entry communicates over CAN with Inverter Setup code 00 — Deye uses one setup value across the list rather than a per-brand code. If your exact model isn’t printed on the list, that doesn’t automatically mean it won’t run, but it does mean the integration risk sits with you rather than the manufacturer.

Three Questions the PDF Doesn’t Answer

Every copy of the Deye list answers the same implicit question: is this brand printed on the page. It doesn’t answer the three questions people actually arrive with, in the order they actually need them.

Question 1: Which of the two lists applies to me?

This is the first place people lose time. Deye issues separate documents for its low-voltage and high-voltage inverter families, and downloading the wrong one sends you looking for a battery that was never going to be in there.

Versions per Deye published approved battery list documents, Ningbo Deye Inverter Technology Co., Ltd. The LV48 series revises frequently — versions 0037, 0076, 0103, 0109 and 0126 are all in circulation across third-party sites, so confirm the version number printed on the page you are reading.

The two documents cover genuinely different hardware. The LV48 list applies to Deye’s 48V hybrid range: SUN-3.6/5/6/7.6/8K-SG01LP1-EU, SUN-5/6/7.6/8K-SG01LP1-US, SUN-3.6/5/6K-SG03LP1-EU, SUN-3/3.6/5/6K-SG04LP1-EU, SUN-3.6/5/6/7.6/8K-SG05LP1-EU, SUN-5/6/8/10/12K-SG04LP3-EU, SUN-12/14/16K-SG01LP1-EU, SUN-8K-SG02LP2-US and SUN-14/15/16/18/20K-SG05LP3-EU/AU-SM2. The HV list covers the SG01HP3 three-phase family instead: SUN-5/6/8/10/12/15/20K-SG01HP3-EU-AM2, SUN-29.9/30/35/40/50K-SG01HP3-EU-BM3/4, SUN-30K-SG01HP3-US-BM3/4 and SUN-60K-SG01HP3-US-BM3/4. If your inverter model isn’t in either list above, you’re likely reading the wrong document for your hardware entirely.

Version drift is worth taking seriously rather than treating as a footnote. Across the sites that host copies of Deye’s list, we found five distinct LV48 revisions still circulating: 0037, 0076, 0103, 0109 and 0126. A battery genuinely missing from a 2023-era 0037 copy can appear in the current 0109 revision, and the reverse happens too when a model is discontinued. The practical habit: don’t bookmark a PDF. Re-check the current version each time a pairing decision actually matters, because the page you saved six months ago is very possibly not the page Deye publishes today.

Question 2: Is my model actually on it?

The LV48 list is long. Deye approves over 80 battery brands for its 48V hybrid range, which tells you something structural about the platform before you read a single model number: this is an open ecosystem, and Deye is not trying to lock you to its own packs.

Entries from Deye approved battery list DY-LV48-0109 (24 July 2025). The document lists 80+ brands across several pages; the table above covers the most frequently searched names plus a representative spread of the rest. Model spellings follow the source document exactly, including inconsistent capitalisation where Deye’s own PDF is inconsistent.

Question 3: What do I actually set on the inverter?

Here is the detail worth knowing before you start hunting through menus. On the LV48 list, essentially every approved battery is set up the same way: CAN communication, Inverter Setup value 00. Deye does not assign a different profile code per battery brand.

That is genuinely different from how some other platforms work. Growatt, for example, maps each approved battery to its own Lithium Mode code — 00 for some packs, 01, 02, 03 or 04 for others — and setting the wrong one is a common cause of a battery that wires up correctly and still refuses to communicate. We covered that in detail in the Growatt battery compatibility guide. GoodWe sits somewhere between the two, with its own approved list and protocol requirements, covered in the GoodWe compatibility guide. On Deye, that particular failure mode is much less likely, because there is only one value to get right.

Supply-side note: the batteries we supply ship with CAN/RS485 BMS built for exactly these open platforms. The question we field most often isn’t “is it compatible” — it’s “my model isn’t printed on the PDF, now what”. That is a fair question and it deserves a straight answer rather than a shrug, which is what the next section is for.

Your Battery Isn’t on the List. Now What?

This is the most common real-world scenario, and the reason people search for specific model numbers in the first place. A worked example: BALF-512314-V2 is a model people look up against Deye’s list regularly. It does not appear on either the current LV48 list (DY-LV48-0109) or the high-voltage list (DY-HV(160-800)-021). That is a factual answer, not a verdict on the battery.

What being off-list actually means, in order of practical importance:

The practical route when your model isn’t printed: ask the battery supplier directly whether their BMS implements the Deye CAN protocol and whether they have field pairings with your exact inverter model. A supplier who has actually done it will answer with specifics — inverter models, firmware, settings. One who hasn’t will answer with “it should work”. That difference tells you most of what you need to know. Our guide to what Deye’s approved list really means goes deeper into the closed-loop versus voltage-following distinction behind this, and the 48V LFP pairing guide covers the wiring and commissioning sequence once the pairing is settled.

What the List Tells You About the Platform

Step back from individual model numbers and the list says something useful about buying decisions. Approving 80+ third-party brands, on one protocol, with one setup value, is the behaviour of a platform that expects you to bring your own battery. That is the opposite of a closed ecosystem, where the inverter only speaks to the manufacturer’s own packs — see our Sungrow compatibility guide for how that plays out.

For an installer or distributor, an open list is leverage: you can compare packs on usable capacity, cycle life and landed cost rather than taking whatever the inverter brand sells — whether that is a 5.12 kWh 100Ah unit for smaller stacks or a larger module for whole-home work. It also means the verification work is yours. Both things are true at once. The inverter–battery compatibility hub covers how open and closed platforms differ at the protocol level, and the low- vs high-voltage guide explains the architecture choice that decides which Deye list you end up reading in the first place.
