Symptoms:

The LG RESU 16H Prime displays Error 65. System operation is halted. The battery system may not provide backup power during grid outages. The LG monitoring app will likely show a fault condition and report Error 65.

Technical Recommendation:

Check the LG Energy Solution service portal for specific diagnostic procedures related to Error 65. Often, there are specific diagnostic commands that can be sent to the BMS to retrieve more detailed error information. This requires installer level access and tools.

How It Works:

The LG RESU 16H Prime integrates a Battery Management System (BMS) to monitor cell voltages, temperature, and current. Error 65 typically indicates a communication fault or hardware failure within the battery pack, specifically with the cell voltage monitoring circuits or the BMS itself. The BMS communicates with the inverter to control charging/discharging. Failure affects DC/DC conversion and safe operation.

Solution:

1

*Safety First:** De-energize the system by opening the AC disconnect and DC disconnect switches. Verify zero voltage using a calibrated multimeter on both AC and DC sides, complying with NEC 705.20.
2

*Visual inspection:** Check all wiring connections between the battery modules, BMS, and inverter for looseness, corrosion, or damage. Pay close attention to the communication cables (CAN bus or Modbus).
3

*Voltage Measurement:** With the system disconnected and safe, measure the voltage of each individual battery module at the terminals. Significant voltage differences between modules indicate a cell imbalance or faulty module. Record all values.
4

*Communication Test:** Using a CAN bus analyzer or Modbus testing tool, verify communication between the BMS and inverter. Check for error messages or dropped packets.
5

*Firmware Update:** If possible, attempt to update the BMS firmware to the latest version using the LG Energy Solution service tool. This requires qualified technician access.
6

*Component Replacement:** If a faulty cell voltage sensor or BMS is identified, replace the defective component with a genuine LG Energy Solution replacement part. Qualified installer mandatory.
7

*System Re-energization:** After completing the repairs, close the DC disconnect and then the AC disconnect. Monitor the system for proper operation and confirm that Error 65 is resolved. Use monitoring app to confirm status.

Preventative Care:

Periodically check the system status via the LG monitoring app
Ensure the BMS firmware is up-to-date
Inspect wiring connections annually for corrosion or looseness
Schedule preventative maintenance with a qualified technician every 3-5 years, including capacity testing and BMS calibration
