I wish I shared your optimism Scott on the LG Prime 16 being better
battery than the LG Resu10. When I field tested the Resu 10 with
Schneider in 2017,
the specs on the unleased 48VResu 16 were the same for charge and
discharge as the Resu10. You would think the larger battery would be
better
but it was not. The same BMS I would guess.
The fact that you can't use any of these LG batteries without the loop
closed to the inverter is a serious flaw (they shut down without the
heartbeat)
that people like Discover AES learned from. Something very wrong that
LG is still in the dark ages of a home battery, in my opinion.
AES did not carry out this poor design policy and built the perfect LFP
for my clients and my wife and I.
LG is NMC and even advertised them installed in a Kitchen?
We killed the Resu 10 with too much XW charge current BTW. The dead ones
went out to the desert of California to be recycled. Another story.....

Quite honestly this has been a complete nightmare but progress has been
made.
We have 7 or so batteries under recall and 3 that needed warranty
support. We waited for....nine months...until the first replacements
and that was only because our office manager was a woman on a mission
and incessantly calling and emailing.
LG seems to have improved its position and has replaced in a more
timely way some of the failed batteries.
I'm hoping the LG Prime 16 is a better battery than the LG Resu10.
Seems so and I like the high discharge capability that really pairs
well with a SE11400 Energy Hub inverter. We've had one warranty of a
Prime 16.
Feel free to contact me offline to makew sure you have the right
numbers and POCs. There have been some personnel changes made and I
assume that was to make improvements.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] LG Chem RESU warranty
All,
Have any of you waiting for repair / replacement of these battery packs
had any success in the last year?
I have -3- deemed defective units. One was sent back, over a year ago,
still no word from LG on replacement status.
The other -2- have been awaiting return boxes for over 6 - 9 months.
My many requests for status have gone without reply from LG - I have
been using the latest contact info to my knowledge.
Any thoughts / experiences on this nightmare subject?
FYI - none of my failed units were on their recall lists!!!
