Hazard
The product has been identified as presenting a serious risk of fire as a manufacturing fault can lead to corrosion across the ribbon cable terminal where it mates with the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for the Battery Management System. Stress on the product’s capacitor can lead to the sealing mechanism becoming compromised, which can cause electrolytes to leak onto the PCB. If there is arcing across the sense ribbon terminal, the resistors can overheat, and the product can ignite.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
Corrective action
Consumers should immediately stop using the RELiON InSight Series 48V battery if it is included within the recalled serial numbers and contact RELiON to coordinate a return.
