LG Chem Solar Batteries: An Independent Review

Solar panels are used to produce electricity from the energy coming from sun. But how to store that electricity? Well, you can’t use all the electricity generated by the panels at once for which you need solar batteries. These batteries help in storing the solar energy as well as discharging the power when required. If the panels installed in your home produce excess electricity, you must have rechargeable batteries in order to save that. Each solar battery has a different requirement of temperature and ventilation for it to work efficiently. Two main types of solar batteries include:

Tubular Batterie

Flat Plate Batteries

LG Chem has been working in the same field for very long which is why most people prefer batteries made by them. The company started to produce lithium-ion batteries before 2000 and within ten years, it was the 3rd largest manufacturer. Despite the fact that LG Chem can’t match the level of Tesla, it has been a good competitor especially in Australia and most people there are using solar batteries made by LG Chem.

Pros and Cons of LG Chem Batteries

LG Chem Batteries are beneficial in many ways but there are certain disadvantages of them as well. The biggest advantage of these batteries is that they can be used for any kind of setup, either hybrid or off-grid. LG Chem Batteries are compact as well because of NMC technology. However, due to this NMC, the life span of these batteries is short and these batteries degrade rapidly as compared to other batteries.

The biggest con of these batteries is that they don’t work at a temperature above 45℃, so they cannot be used in hot and severe weather conditions. However, this isn’t a big deal in Australia for which these can be installed either indoor or outdoor.

Warranty of LG Chem Batteries

Whenever you plan to buy something, the first thing you look for is either its quality or warranty. In this way, you get to know about its lifespan. Same is the case with solar batteries. LG Chem Solar Batteries have a warranty of almost 10 years which is a sign of their good quality. However, if they don’t entertain you in case of an issue, Australian Consumer Law will come into play to help you.

The warranty indicates that the battery will be having more than or equal to 60% of its initial storage capacity even after 10 years which clearly shows that you can use the battery for another 4-5 years if the demand is not very high. LG Chem has a vast experience in batteries manufacturing for which you must consider them if you are planning to install Solar System Setup at your home.
