Oh nice work! The ideal set up is clearly to get the original GBLI5001 BMS working as it was designed and paired with the SP2000! That was my initial plan when i got my first Growatt battery, but even after i charged and balance all cells, the BMS still wouldnt play ball.
Now i have two batteries and am just converting them to use Daly BMS's, then set up the SP2000 as LEAD...not ideal, but a damn sight cheaper than alternative options!
With your mention of only being able to discharge 50% when the SP20000 is configured for LEAD, this is 50% of the capacity based only on the battery voltage the SP2000 reports as there is no formal communication between SP2000 and battery.
This would mean that "50%" of a lead acid battery would be a rough voltage of 48.2v (based on 4 x 12v batteries at 12.07v each at 50%) which when compared to the typical voltage curve of a lithium ion battery would equal roughly an 80% discharge (48.2v total devided by 14 cell packs = 3.44 per cell).

I appreciate there is more to the science than what i mention above and it should all be taken with a pinch of salt, just my two cents.
More information about the cells used within the GBLI5001 batteries can be found here
