Judges at Bielefeld Regional Court ruled the maximum 70% operating capacity of the home battery – while replacement lithium ferro-phosphate (LFP) cells are awaited – is a material defect. Senec is appealing against the ruling. Bielefeld Regional Court, in Germany, has ordered a dealer of Senec residential batteries to refund the cost of one unit to a customer who was affected by the manufacturer reducing the operational rated capacity of the product, for safety reasons. Senec, a subsidiary of German electric utility Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, has been replacing Home4, V3, and V2.1 battery products since March 2022, when three fires were reported in homes where the systems were fitted. The Leipzig-based manufacturer is replacing the units with LFP devices, which offer improved fire safety. |
