BYD Battery-Box keeps switching itself off. Why?

The short answer
It shuts down within 30 min if inverter communication is lost. Check comms and collect logs for service.

Plain explanation

From the BYD manual for the Battery-Box Premium HVS/HVM: Battery shuts down within 30 min if inverter comm is lost. Check inverter communication (see §2.4). The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Installer only: DC and AC work on a live PV system is dangerous, so owners should note the code and call their installer.

Steps from the source

  1. Battery shuts down within 30 min if inverter comm is lost
  2. Check inverter communication (see §2.4)
  3. Collect logs via BCP for service
