Summary
LG Chemical Australia LG Energy announced in Australia recalling its resu 10H residential energy storage system (ESS) and battery packs, and recalls about 1800 battery systems.
The LG Chemical Energy Botility System (ESS) announced the recall because the battery has a fire risk.
Foreign media reported that LG Chemicals Australia LG Energy announced in Australia to recall its resu 10H residential energy storage system (ESS) and battery packs, recalling about 1800 battery systems.
The recalled ESS has used a batch of ternary batteries produced between March 2017 to September 2018. The recall notification indicates that the defect is "battery may overheat and catch fire."
In fact, this is not the ESS product of LG energy for the first time, due to battery safety issues overseas.
2020, LG Energy announced in the United States to recall its resu 10h household energy storage system products, because there is a heat-fired risk of thermal heat.
LG Energy confirms that the energy storage system product has five angle accidents in the United States. The recalled energy storage system is equipped with a batch of batteries produced by LG in 2017-201. However, LG chemistry has not responded to the cause of fire.
It is worth noting that from August 2017 to October 2019, 27 ESS fire accidents occurred in South Korea, including 17 accident devices for lithium batteries produced by LG energy.
The above-mentioned reasons of the above-mentioned energy storage systems are basically point to the die level, which indicates that the battery core produced by LG energy has a safety hazard and has not been significantly improved in the later period.
In October last year, modern cars announced that 77,000 KONA electric vehicles were recalled around the world because the defects of high-voltage batteries in the production process may result in short circuits or risks.
The solution given by modern and LG is to update the battery management system but not replace the battery system.
However, in January 2021, South Korea had just recalled and updated the Kona electric car of the battery management system once again. It is more serious that consumers have more concerned about battery safety issues.
Under this circumstance, modern cars announced that from March 29, it will recall in a total of 8.2 million electric vehicles in a global scale, and modern will replace the battery pack for the above-mentioned vehicle. The battery is originally equipped.
Modern automotive introduction, the recall cost will be as high as $ 900 million (about RMB 5.8 billion), including 38.9 billion won for the first recall.
However, modern and battery suppliers LG Energy is negotiating on how to share battery replacement, but have not yet reached an agreement.
Up to now, the global sales of modern KONA electric vehicles have accumulated more than 160,000 vehicles, and 15 fire accidents have been launched in the world. They are equipped with LG batteries.
However, for the recall for the battery of the battery, the LG energy denies its battery compact.
The South Korean Land Transport Department said that the internal short circuit may be caused by some battery discovery to cause internal short circuits and eventually triggered a fire, but the fire has not occurred again. The LG side is based on this, and the deficiencies that advocate the existence of the battery pack do not cause direct causes of fires.
Despite this, a series of fire accidents will undoubtedly impact the battery of LG energy in terms of brand image, market development and revenue profit.
On the one hand, the customers of LG energy include a large number of international mainfractions such as Tesla, Modern, Daimler, Volkswagen, General. The above host factory or for safety considerations will give a higher requirements or longer verification cycle for LG's power battery products, and even cancel the supply cooperation with it, or a fatal blow to the power business of LG energy.
On the other hand, the above-mentioned recall will also bring a heavy recall fee expense to LG energy, resulting in a sharp decline in battery profitability of LG energy, and even losses again.
