LG Chem RESU series residential battery storage systems

LG Chem has announced its next-generation residential battery storage system. The system has been completely redesigned both internally and externally, leaving a recently developed battery cell as the centrepiece.

The company now offers low-voltage (48 V) and high-voltage (400 V) variations in order to meet energy requirements of photovoltaic systems users in Australia and New Zealand. The RESU models come with the capacities to generate from 3.3 to 9.8 kWh in the low-voltage and 7 to 9.8 kWh in the high-voltage variation. With a battery from the series, users can save on energy costs by utilising solar-generated power in the evenings.

The storage series includes two high-voltage battery systems, RESU7H and RESU10H, along with the low-voltage battery systems RESU3.3, RESU6.5 and RESU10. The high-voltage models provide a variety of inverters that consumers can select in order to convert solar DC into usable AC.

With the expansion kit RESU Plus, it is possible to combine two models within the low-voltage class together. The range of capacity thus moves in the low-voltage range from 3.3 to 19.6 kWh. All models are available in silver and champagne gold.

The models are available in an IP55-certified, waterproof casing, making them suitable for installation and configuration outside the house.
