LG 16H Prime Battery | 16kWh | 400V | High Voltage
ā” Before You Buy
This is a standalone battery. It requires a compatible high-voltage hybrid inverter to function and cannot power your home on its own. This is a 400V high-voltage unit, so confirm inverter compatibility before ordering. Complete a load calculation to confirm your inverter's continuous output can handle your backed-up circuits. Size your system first ā
The LG RESU16H Prime is one of the most field-proven residential battery systems on the market. At 16kWh in a high-voltage (400V) architecture, it delivers meaningful backup runtime for whole-home essential loads without the oversized footprint of lower-voltage alternatives. LG's high-voltage design reduces current draw at the battery level, which means lower heat generation, longer cycle life, and better efficiency under continuous load. If you're backing up an EV charger, HVAC, or medical equipment, that matters more than peak kWh numbers. Compatible with leading inverters including Growatt, SolarEdge, SMA, and others. Two units can be paralleled for 32kWh total.

What you'll need (not included):
- Compatible hybrid inverter: the RESU16H Prime does not operate without one
- Licensed electrician: high-voltage battery installation requires a licensed professional
- Electrical permit: required for battery storage in most U.S. states
- Load calculation: confirm which circuits you want backed up and that your inverter can handle them
Budget $1,500-$3,500 for installation depending on system complexity and location.
Shipping: Freight shipping cost is calculated at checkout based on your delivery address. Ships LTL freight due to its 220 lb weight. Delivery requires a liftgate or loading dock, so confirm your address can receive freight. The carrier will contact you to schedule delivery. Inspect the unit before signing the delivery receipt.
Returns: 30-day return window from delivery. Items must be new, uninstalled, and in original packaging. Customer pays return freight, and a 25% restocking fee applies. Contact support@chargeprodirect.com to start a return or warranty claim.
Can this battery run my whole home during an outage?
16kWh covers essential circuits such as the refrigerator, lighting, internet, and phone charging for 12-24 hours. Running HVAC, an electric range, or an EV charger simultaneously reduces that significantly. A load calculation tells you exactly what runtime to expect.
Does this battery work without solar panels?
Yes. It can charge from the grid via a compatible hybrid inverter. Solar accelerates recharging but panels are not required.
Can I add a second battery later?
Yes. Two units can be connected in parallel for 32kWh total. Your inverter must support multi-battery configurations.
What inverter should I pair with this battery?
The Growatt hybrid inverters on this site are pre-validated compatible. If you already own a different inverter, contact support@chargeprodirect.com with your model before ordering.
