You would think the larger battery would be better<br>but it was not. The same BMS I would guess.<br><br>The fact that you can't use any of these LG batteries without the loop closed to the inverter is a serious flaw (they shut down without the heartbeat)<br> that people like Discover AES learned from. Something very wrong that LG is still in the dark ages of a home battery, in my opinion.<br><br>AES did not carry out this poor design policy and built the perfect LFP for my clients and my wife and I.<br> LG is NMC and even advertised them installed in a Kitchen?<br><br>We killed the Resu 10 with too much XW charge current BTW.
