Element Energy’s large stock of batteries for second life energy storage are mostly LG batteries recalled from EVs in the last few years due to fire safety concerns, a source told Energy-Storage.news.

Further attempts are being made to recall batteries thought to pose fire risk through overheating in Australia, with thousands of home energy storage systems believed to be affected.

Buyers of home energy storage systems in Australia should check if batteries in their devices come from a batch recalled.

A product recall has been announced for around 10,000 units of residential battery energy storage systems (BESS) by manufacturer LG Energy Solution Michigan in the US, due to potential fire risks.
