This is a FYI post for anyone searching on this.
I've gotten my Anker Solix F3800 to charge using a Victron MPPT solar charge controller.
The issue is that the solar charge port on the Anker can only take a max of 60 volts (VOC rating on the solar panel). So it will not take 84 VOC from 3 series connected panels as a non specific example. However, the Victron can charge batteries from 12v, 24v and 48v. Using the preset lithium battery setting for 48v and limiting output to 20 amps (max input limit of the F3800) (update: the new max current input is 27amps??) converts the high solar panel voltage into acceptable voltage and current for the Anker. And best of all, the Victron sends a "wake up" voltage signal to the Anker port, activating it and allowing the Victron to monitor the power to regulate the charge.
There is also custom settings in the Victron which appear to allow increasing the charge voltage to the max 60 volts. I will update later on how/if this works.
