Hi Scott, Agree with all you have said and would add that my experience with the failed 48vdc LG RESU 10 proved to me that LG needed to go back and redesign the whole line of residential storage. Not ready for prime time. It probably is just a good choice to stay away from their NMC batteries.

@ Jerry Shafer: I think the title of the post clearly lays out that the issue I was experiencing is with LG Resu batteries. I am glad that you are having good outcomes with BYD but I never said this was part of my problem.So when you say you are "doing it pretty often" I'm assuming you are

Hi Wrenches, Thanks for your comments Jerry, Our company too has had issues with the problems you discuss. It basically seems that someone has misrepresented what is "doable" with the SMA storage inverter, ABU and Sunny Boy PV inverters. We made the mistake of installing 3 in a row and then finding

Scot We do it pretty often and have never had an issue, right out of the gate we were told that BYD is the only battery option available, l understand your frustration but how did you determine that LG was an approved solution in the beginning.

An update. LG ESS is simply not compatible with the SMA represented system of SMA storage inverter, Automatic Backup Unit, and its SMA PV inverter. Just cannot AC Couple and use solar to recharge the batteries because as soon as the battery changes from charging to discharging, it bleeds of

Hi Howard, I am sure that the SMA guy here on wrenches will give you a better answer. If not I would escalate this at SMA as you are right. The LG will do what you want. Something is not programmed correctly. Three of the Resu 10H are going to take some time to replace near 30KWH. Dave Ang
