According to Reuters on November 13, Tesla, a U.S.-based energy storage and electric vehicle manufacturing giant, said it had received 22 reports of overheating due to the risk of fire and burns . The company is recalling about 10, 500 Powerwall 2 home energy storage battery systems in the United States.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said it had not received reports of injuries related to the product.
Powerwall 2 is a home energy storage device that can be integrated with a solar panel system to store power for self-use, deployment, and backup in the event of a power outage. The
recall notice shows that the defect stems from the fact that some lithium-ion battery units may overheat, smoke or catch fire under certain conditions, which has led to property damage in a few cases. Tesla said it was remotely limiting the amount of charge on affected devices to minimize the risk while arranging free replacements for users. In
September, Tesla launched a recall of the Powerwall 2 in Australia after receiving reports of a fire in the device. At that time, Tesla said that after receiving reports of smoke or fire from some Powerwall 2 devices carrying related battery units and causing minor property damage, the company confirmed that a batch of lithium-ion battery units supplied by third parties had safety problems, and pointed out that these systems "may fail and overheat".
