    Saftey NOTE To use rechargeable batteries, you are required to comply with standard AS 4086.2 in Australia and VDE-AR-E2510-2 in Germany. 1.1 Symbols on product labels The nameplate is attached to the left side of the battery pack, and the warning label is attached to the top.
  • Page 6: Safety Instructions

    Saftey The battery pack is heavy enough to cause severe injury. The battery pack may leak corrosive electrolyte. The battery pack may explode. The battery pack should not be disposed with household waste at the end of its working life. The battery pack should be disposed at a proper facility for environ- mentally safe recycling.
  • Page 7: Battery Handling Guide

    • Do not use cleaning solvents to clean the battery pack. 1.3 Response to emergency situations The RESU battery pack comprises multiple batteries that are designed to pre- vent hazards resulting from failures. However, LG Chem cannot guarantee their absolute safety. Leaking batteries If the battery pack leaks electrolyte, avoid contact with the leaking liquid or gas.
  • Page 8: Fire

    If the battery catches fire, it will produce noxious and poisonous gases. Do not approach. Wet batteries If the battery pack is wet or submerged in water, do not try to access it. Contact LG Chem or your distributor for technical assistance.

    Installation Network cable connection NOTE The battery pack must be connected to the inverter via a network cable for proper operation. 1. The smaller grommet is too narrow for the RJ45 plug to pass through. Make sure that the network cable from the inverter does not have an RJ45 plug at the end.
  • Page 23: Ground Wire Connection

    Installation Ground wire connection NOTE Grounding between the battery pack and the inverter is not mandatory but recommended. 1. Thread the ground wire from the in- verter through a smaller grommet and then through the bottom of the smaller holes. 2.

  • Page 31: Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting Check the indicators on the front to determine the state of the battery pack. A warning state is triggered when a condition, such as with voltage or tem- perature, is beyond design limitations. The battery pack’s BMS periodically reports its operating state to the inverter. When the battery pack falls outside prescribed limits, it enters a warning state.
  • Page 32: Firmware Update

    Firmware Update It is possible to update the BMS firmware. Use a memory card to update it. A new firmware may be available from LG Chem website or your distributor. Prepare a memory card with these properties: • The capacity of the memory card must not be greater than 32 GB.
  • Page 33 If it fails, the Warning indicator lights for two seconds. Check the memory card and try again. If it persistently fails, contact LG Chem or your distributor. 7. Replace the lid. 8. Turn on the inverter.
