Experiences with LG Electronics (LG Chem RESU 7kW Battery.)
My system was set up on 01/03/2019 and has worked perfectly until 21/02/2023.
D. 13-05-2022: I receive an inquiry from LG who wants the serial number of my battery.
(They probably know at this point that something has gone wrong with their batteries.)
D. 02-21-2023: My battery stops charging, discharging. An electrician is called.
D. 08-03-2023: Electrician discovers very quickly that things have gone completely wrong with the battery, the innards have started to grow out of the aluminum casing.
Taken down and put out in the open, should it now catch fire. Electrician contacts LG Electronics and tells about the fault with the battery.
D. 27-06-2023: The electrician company hears from LG, who have now come to the conclusion that the battery must be replaced, just need a confirmation from LG.
D. 21.07.2023: The battery has constantly grown out of the cabinet, and now the last bolt gave up and as you can see in the picture, all the threads are torn out.
Now a third of the offal hangs out in the open, and is only held back by some cables.
Now we are writing on 11/08/2023 and here after 5 months I still haven't seen a new battery.
Well, I guess you should be glad that it's not the battery for the electric car that's broken.
Update when there is new information on the matter.
