The models of battery packs involved:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>EM048063P3S4<\/li>\n<li>EM048126P3S7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We mentioned back then affected packs may have been used in other energy storage systems.<\/p>\n<p>A new notice on ProductSafety says the affected LG batteries were also installed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/reviews\/solax-power-review.html\">SolaX Power&#8217;s<\/a> X-cabinet, PowerStation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/reviews\/opal-review.html\"> Opal Storage<\/a> products.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The affected LG batteries may overheat and cause a fire,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.productsafety.gov.au\/recalls\/solax-power-aus-pty-ltd-lg-sa-gen2-ess-batteries\">states the notice<\/a>. &#8220;If a battery overheats, it may cause a fire that can result in injury or death and\/or damage to property. Incidents have occurred and caused damage to property.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Owners of affected LG S\/A Gen2 ESS units are urged to immediately contact SolaX Power by email at <a class=\"mailto\" href=\"mailto:service@solaxpower.com\" data-extlink=\"\">service@solaxpower.com <\/a> or by telephone on 1300 476 529.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;SolaX Power will help you find out if you have an affected battery. If you have an affected LG battery, SolaX Power will help you switch off the unit until the maximum state of charge of your battery is reduced or the battery is replaced. This charge reduction is an interim measure that will reduce the risk of overheating.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Affected batteries will be replace free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s curious that after more than a year, a new recall notice has been issued &#8211; there&#8217;s obviously still some affected units kicking about the place. And the recall from last year was several months after a recall in the USA, but that was just for the RESU 10H battery at that point.<\/p>\n<h2>Solar Batteries And Safety<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/reviews\/lg-chem-review.html\">LG Energy Solution<\/a> (previously LG Chem) has been in the battery game for a very long time and manufactures a shedload of energy storage products, large and small.<\/p>\n<p>The LG EM048063P3S4 and EM048126P3S7 are based on lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) cells. While lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is widely considered the safest chemistry, that doesn&#8217;t make NMC unsafe. A number of other major battery manufacturers use NMC cells, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/reviews\/tesla-powerwall-2-review.html\">Tesla for its Powerwall<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/safety\/\">Home battery storage is generally very safe<\/a>, but all lithium-ion technologies can experience what&#8217;s called &#8220;thermal runaway&#8221;. An increase in temperature caused by a fault can fuel a further temperature increase, to the point of a battery venting with flame or going bang.<\/p>\n<p>This is why when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/101-guides\/buying-batteries\/\">buying a solar battery<\/a>, the chemistry isn&#8217;t as important as the general quality of the system, the brand backing it and the installer. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, but when a cure is needed you&#8217;ll also want ready access to a) a diagnosis and b) a treatment plan. Unfortunately, some manufacturers (regardless of the product) choose to cover up issues and hope for the best.<\/p>\n<p>This latest notice won&#8217;t be doing LG any favours, but of course it&#8217;s the right and necessary thing to do. Aside from these affected units manufactured between March 2017 and September 2018, I&#8217;m not aware of any other similar actions needing to be undertaken by LG for its solar batteries.<\/p>\n<p>In other fairly recent news from LG&#8217;s family of companies, LG\u2019s board of directors in South Korea announced in late February it would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/lg-solar-exit-mb2368\/\">exiting solar panel manufacturing<\/a> after a review of the impact of rising material and logistics costs along with supply constraints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new recall notice went up on the Australian Government&#8217;s Product Safety web site last Wednesday in relation to LG batteries utilised in some energy storage systems from a couple of other brands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":60620,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>LG Battery Recall Continues: Solax Power And Opal Storage Affected<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A new recall notice in relation to LG batteries utilised in some energy storage systems from a couple of other brands has been published.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/lg-battery-recall-mb2420\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"LG Battery Recall Continues: Solax Power And Opal Storage Affected\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A new recall notice in relation to LG batteries utilised in some energy storage systems from a couple of other brands has been published.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/lg-battery-recall-mb2420\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-04-04T20:09:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-10-01T04:48:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/lg-battery-recall.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/lg-battery-recall-mb2420\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/lg-battery-recall-mb2420\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"LG Battery Recall Continues: Solax Power And Opal Storage Affected\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-04-04T20:09:17+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-10-01T04:48:20+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/lg-battery-recall-mb2420\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":618,\"commentCount\":11,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/lg-battery-recall-mb2420\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/04\\\/lg-battery-recall.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
