Why This Happens:

Loose or damaged CAN bus connectors between the battery modules and the BMS.
Faulty CAN bus transceiver chip on a battery module or the BMS.
Corrupted firmware on the BMS or a battery module.
Cell voltage imbalance exceeding the BMS threshold.
External electromagnetic interference (EMI) disrupting CAN bus communication.
Defective battery module causing communication errors.

How It Works:

The LG RESU 10H Prime utilizes a distributed BMS architecture where individual battery modules communicate with a central BMS controller via a CAN bus. Error 69 suggests a failure in this communication pathway. The BMS monitors cell voltages, temperatures, and currents to ensure safe operation and optimal battery life. This data is critical for SOC and SOH calculations. The system interfaces with the grid via a hybrid inverter that manages DC-AC conversion and grid synchronization.

Symptoms:

The LG RESU 10H Prime battery storage system displays Error 69, indicating a communication fault between the battery modules and the Battery Management System (BMS). The system may cease charging or discharging, and the inverter may report a grid outage or system fault.

Safety Warning:

High DC voltage is present in battery storage systems. Improper handling can result in electric shock or arc flash. Always de-energize the system and verify zero voltage before performing any maintenance. Only qualified electricians with experience in battery storage systems should perform repairs or replacements. Consult the manufacturer's safety guidelines and follow NEC Article 706 for energy storage systems. NEC rapid shutdown requirements must be followed.

Technical Recommendation:

If Error 69 appears after a power outage or grid disturbance, try power cycling the entire system (AC and DC disconnects) and waiting 5 minutes before re-energizing. This may reset the BMS and clear the communication fault. Monitor system performance closely after the reset.

Recommended Action:

1

*Safety First:** De-energize the system by opening the DC disconnect between the battery and the inverter. Verify zero voltage using a calibrated multimeter.
2

Inspect all CAN bus connectors between the battery modules and the BMS for damage or looseness. Re-seat or replace connectors as needed.
3

Use a CAN bus analyzer to monitor communication traffic and identify faulty modules. (Requires specialized equipment and training).
4

Check individual cell voltages within each battery module using a high-precision multimeter. Identify any cells outside the manufacturer's specified voltage range.
5

If cell voltage imbalance is detected, attempt to perform a cell balancing procedure through the BMS interface (if available and if qualified to do so).
6

Update the BMS firmware to the latest version, following the manufacturer's instructions.
7

If the problem persists, replace the faulty battery module(s) identified during CAN bus analysis or cell voltage testing. Ensure replacements are LG-certified and compatible. Consult a qualified electrician for NEC compliance and proper grounding procedures.

Preventative Care:

Schedule annual system inspections by a qualified technician to check for loose connections, corrosion, and proper ventilation.
Monitor battery performance data (SOC, SOH, cell voltages, temperatures) through the monitoring app.
Keep the system firmware updated to the latest version to address potential bugs and improve performance.
Ensure proper ventilation around the battery system to prevent overheating and prolong battery life.
