Risk through LG Home batteries: Important recall for consumers!

Kreis Herzogtum Lauenburg, Deutschland - A critical recall currently affects numerous models from LG ESS home batteries, as confirmed by the Association for Consumer Information and LG Energy Solution Europe GmbH. These batteries, which are used to store solar energy in private households, have a dangerous risk of overheating. This danger can lead to the batteries catch fire, which could result in significant damage to property or even serious injuries. For this reason, it is recommended to immediately use the serial number checker to determine whether your battery is affected. Since the recall has been extended to additional models, a new review of the products is urgently necessary, even if they have already been checked, such as 5min.at reported.

Special urgency received the situation from an incident on February 19, 2025, when a violent explosion shook a single -family house in Duchy of Lauenburg. Experts suspect that a technical defect or an overload of the LG battery storage, which was part of the solar installation, could have been the cause of the incident. The building was so badly damaged that it had to be classified as in danger of collapse. The investigation is currently concentrating on the exact circumstances of the explosion, and property damage has already been reported. It is therefore of the utmost importance to check the serial number of your home battery immediately and, if necessary, contact LG. For support, a hotline is available to help customers who may be affected, such as urgent measures for affected customers

As part of the recall, LG Energy Solution offers free diagnostic software to identify and switch off potentially endangered batteries. If the batteries overheat, they will be replaced free of charge and removed from the property in question. The models concerned include Resu3.3, Resu6.5, Resu10 and other variants. The security of the customers is at the top, which is why a quick reaction to the recall is urgently recommended.
