3Troubleshooting
Check the indicators on the front of the battery pack to determine in what state
the battery pack is.
Status Charge/Discharge

Red → Red O Initialization failedb
Green Green Discharging in normal state
Green Red Charging in normal state

aThis should change in 7 seconds.
bContact your distributor in this case.
A warning state is triggered when a condition, such as voltage or temperature,
is beyond its design limitations.
The battery pack’s BMS periodically reports its operational state to the inverter.
There are two abnormal states:
Warning: When the battery pack is likely to become faulty, it goes into warn-
ing state. When a warning is reported, the inverter shows the warning
message on its display but takes no action about it.
Fault: When the battery pack falls outside prescribed limits, it goes into fault
state. When a fault is reported, the inverter immediately stops its opera-
tion and shows the fault message on the display.
The possible warning or fault messages are as follows:
• Battery Over Voltage
• Battery Under Voltage
• Battery Over Temperature
• Battery Under Temperature
• Battery Discharge Over Current
• Battery Charge Over Current
9

Troubleshooting
• BMS Internal Communication
• Battery Cell Voltage Imbalance
An abnormal state is released when the battery pack recovers its normal con-
dition.
NOTE
For a serious fault, if no proper corrective actions are taken by the inverter,
the battery pack’s circuit breaker automatically trips to protect itself. For
example, if the Status indicator stays red for more than 5 minutes, the cir-
cuit breaker trips. Use the monitoring software on the inverter to identify
what caused the fault.

4Emergency Situations
The RESU 6.4 EX battery pack comprises multiple batteries that are designed to
prevent hazards resulting from failures. However, LG Chem cannot guarantee
their absolute safety.
4.1 Leaking Batteries
If the battery pack leaks electrolyte, avoid contact with the leaking liquid or
gas. If one is exposed to the leaked substance, immediately perform the actions
described below.
Inhalation: Evacuate the contaminated area, and seek medical attention.
Contact with eyes: Rinse eyes with owing water for 15 minutes, and seek
medical attention.
Contact with skin: Wash the aected area thoroughly with soap and water,
and seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Induce vomiting, and seek medical attention.
4.2 Fire
In case of res, make sure that the following equipment is available near the
battery pack.
• SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) and protective gear in compli-
ance with the Directive on Personal Protective Equipment 89/686/EEC
• Novec 1230, FM-200, or dioxide extinguisher.
NOTE
ABC extinguishers are not eective when the battery pack is on re.
Batteries may explode when heated above 150°C. If possible, move the battery
pack to a safe area before it catches re.
11

Emergency Situations
4.3 Wet Batteries
If the battery pack is wet or submerged in water, do not let people access it,
and then contact LG Chem or an authorized dealer for technical support.
4.4 Damaged Batteries
Damaged batteries are dangerous and must be handled with the utmost care.
They are not t for use and may pose a danger to people or property.
If the battery pack seems to be damaged, pack it in its original container, and
then return it to LG Chem or an authorized dealer.
NOTE
Damaged batteries may leak electrolyte or produce ammable gas. If such
a damage occurs, immediately contact LG Chem at [phone].
