The warning comes amid reports of battery fires in Europe that are linked to LG-branded batteries. These batteries have the potential to overheat and cause a fire. Households that don''t have an LG-branded solar storage system should still check if they have an LG-branded battery. The recalled batteries are: LG RESU; SolaX Power Station; SolaX
Solar energy storage is a key part of the clean energy puzzle. The world is on track to install nearly 600 GW worth of solar power this year - 29 per cent more than last year even after
Lithium-ion batteries, whether they''re in cars, smartphones or automobiles, cancatch fire if they''ve been improperly manufactured, damaged or abused or if the software

Recurrent Auto studied 15,000 various EVs and learned that – outside of battery replacement recalls – only 1.5% of them have had their battery packs replaced.
Rechargeables don''t suffer from this problem as they don''t contain any harmful chemicals. Overall, rechargeable batteries offer many benefits over regular ones including being more cost-effective and environmentally friendly in the long run. They also last longer and don''t pose any risks of leaking harmful chemicals.

In February 2021, LG similarly recalled approximately,7200 home energy storage batteries which were primarily installed as parts of solar energy systems. The ACCC reissued the recall on these batteries in May 2022 when it was found further brands were at risk, including SolaX Power and Opal – with the ACCC then warning nearly 6,500 faulty batteries
Since February 2020, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Stellantis, and Volkswagen have issued recalls after discovering internal battery failures that could have raised the risk of fires, prompting the NHTSA''s
Since February 2020, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Stellantis, and Volkswagen have issued recalls after discovering internal battery failures that could have raised the risk of fires, prompting the NHTSA''s investigation. More than 138,000 EVs with batteries made by LG Energy Solution of South Korea were part of the investigation.
GM has recalled 142,000 cars and Hyundai 82,000, both due to the risk that the batteries can, in unusual circumstances, burst into flames. Unlike components of traditional

Scientists are continually improving LFP batteries'' energy density to bolster their commercial attractiveness over other architectures. However, while most batteries never reach their theoretical capacity, many LFP batteries undercut their theoretical electricity storage capacity by up to 25%. The lower capacity has puzzled researchers for a
In Li-ion batteries, the anode is usually made from Lithium-Cobalt Oxide (new batteries may use Lithium Iron Phosphate) and the cathode is made of carbon. The electrolyte in such batteries must be able to transfer positive ions between electrodes but be an insulator to an electrical current (electron flow). Electrolytes vary between batteries but are commonly lithium
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the ICCU can become damaged, which will cause the onboard 12-volt battery powering the vehicle control systems to stop charging. The EV will then lose drive power. Dealers will replace the ICCU and its fuse and update the vehicle software.
Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones and the ACCC has issued consumers a national safety warning over recalled LG solar lithium-ion batteries, which are installed in solar energy systems, due to risk
Additional advice from the ACCC dated 27 May 2024: On 17 May 2024, the ACCC accepted an enforceable undertaking from LG Energy Solution to take actions to protect consumers from risks posed by these recalled LG batteries.

NiCad batteries haver a terrible "memory effect" to them that newer battery chemistries don''t have (at least to the same extent). From 20 years ago memory when I was making the change from NiCad to NiMH to power the electronics in my remote control turbine powered jet, what I remember is the NiCads if you didn''t keep them charged to full the battery would deplete
Public concerns about problems with batteries in new-energy vehicles (NEVs) surged after two domestic brands were ordered by China''s top market regulator to recall their NEVs due to...

Since February 2020, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Stellantis, and Volkswagen have issued recalls after discovering internal battery failures that could have raised the risk of fires, prompting the NHTSA’s investigation. More than 138,000 EVs with batteries made by LG Energy Solution of South Korea were part of the investigation.
Battery pack flaws in the Chevy Bolt and EUV between 2020 and 2021 prompted extensive battery recalls. Hyundai also dealt with a wave of recalls after battery fires in some 2019-2020 Kona EVs; a folded anode, or negative electrode tab in the cells of the battery, was to blame.
Yet while those have fallen, the cost of recalls involving batteries are climbing. A short circuit or defect within the battery cells can be explosive as the chemicals inside lithium-ion batteries are highly flammable. But then, so is petrol.
Still, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched an investigation in 2022 after five carmakers issued battery recalls. Problems ranged from batteries delivering low charges to more serious defects that could damage the car or cause a fire.
If you are notified that your EV battery has been recalled, contact your dealership immediately and make an appointment to have the battery repaired or replaced. You can also check for recalls by entering your license plate and VIN/car make model on the NHTSA’s website or by downloading the NHTSA’s free SaferCar app to sign up for recall alerts.
