Zhengli's team has done the work here:

It just shows that bat-to-bat ACE2 variety spans a larger diversity than bat-to-human ACE2 variety; with some generalist viruses being able to infect human & some bat species, but not all bat species.

Oh, I think I do.
Bat ACE2's are quite diverse between bat species
The authors used bat cells from spanish R. ferrumequinum bats (blue); whereas BANAL viruses originally came from R. malayanus bats (red)
SC2 will most likely replicate in the "right" R.mal bat cell lines; see below:
