The CPSC and Eguana Technologies are recalling Evolve Home Energy Storage Systems.  The lithium ion batteries at the heart of these systems may overheat and create a fire hazard.  About 245 of these systems were sold in Hawaii, California, Florida, Georgia and New Hampshire.  If you had one installed, immediately contact Eguana Technologies by phone at 1-800-667-6478 or via email at lgrecall@eguanatech.com in order to schedule a free repair.  Note that
Eguana will limit the state of charge of all online units in order to reduce risk of overheating until the batteries are replaced.  If your unit is not online, contact Eguana to come out and manually reduce the state of charge.
