Can Anyone Confirm The following on the (USA low Voltage) LV5048 Model:

1) Does BATTERY EQUALIZATION actually work?
-- I See Paramaters 33-37 in the manual's "setting" description area, page 20
http://www.mppsolar.com/manual/SPLIT PHASE LV/LV5048 split phase manual-20191024.pdf

-- But I see no description on how to actually use the Equalization, as in the HV (MK) manual, page 32-33
http://www.mppsolar.com/manual/PIP-MK (PF1.0)/PIP-MK manual-20190717.pdf

2) Does BUILT IN battery EQUALIZATION only work with PYLONTECH Batteries?
-- So as too make settings 33-37 useless unless the batteries are Pylontech

3) Can the Included Equalization parameters be used in association with a third party BMS?
-- IE: Can the inverter be forced “Offline” (loads and battery disconnected) via parameters 33-37 for the batteries to be balanced by a third party BMS?
-- or-
-- Can the Inverter be put into “StandBy" (loads powered, no charging) via settings 33-37 for the batteries to be balanced by a third party BMS?

4) Does SIMPLE Serial Port Communication (say, from Raspberry Pi serial to LV’s USB via serial adapter) work on the LV5048 out of the box?
-- Without patched firmware (similar to the following)
PIP-4048MS and PIP-5048MS inverters - Page 102 - AEVA Forums

5) Can any of the 3rd party Solar/ESS software solutions work with the Inverter out of the box?
-- Map-Solar: https://github.com/jblance/mpp-solar
-- SolPipLog: https://github.com/njfaria/SolPipLog
-- SolarPower: MPP's software that seems to only work with HYBRID models
-- Solar Patrol

Answers/Additional Comments PLEASE.... Thnx.
