The product, in the report: 10 kilowatt home lithium ion energy storage battery
Six years ago I contracted with a local solar panel installer for a rooftop solar system. I also had them add to that system a 10 kilowatt lithium battery to provide household power backup in the event of a power grid failure. The battery was from LG Energy Solution and came with a 10 year warranty(Model RESU 10H). Three years later LG advised that my battery was part of a lot that was subject to a recall it was coordinating with the CPSC, due to a risk of the battery overheating and causing fire and harmful smoke. It promised a replacement within a few months, but it actually took two years. I see that LG was involved with CPSC three separate times for this recall, in 2020, 2021, and 2022. About a year later - Thursday, August 1, 2024 - I was summoned to the basement by a smoke alarm, to discover the replacement battery overheating and smoking. Luckily I was able to contact the solar installer by phone and he guided me through shutting down the system, which cooled down the battery. He came the next day to remove the battery, and one of the same ones he had installed as part of a solar system for my son. I am furious that a major company like LG would subject me or anyone else to this kind of risk, long after it became aware of the problem and said it had been fixed. It is apparent that despite the documented risk of fire with this model, LG is issuing replacements of it instead of its newer models. These older models constitute a clear and present danger of fire, without warning, to any household in which they are installed. I would like LG to be forced to recall all of these batteries for anyone affected, and also refund the $7000 purchase price for me and my son. Neither of us desire to have another backup battery from LG at this point.
