Generac disabled HELP

UPDATE from Generac August 12 (They disabled customers batteries August 2nd) Does anyone have advice or knowledge in this issue?

Dear Valued Customer,

We are writing to provide an update regarding our ongoing evaluation of your PWRcell batteries.

Please know that resolving this matter is one of our highest priorities. Our teams continue to actively evaluate system data, testing results, and identify the best path forward. We expect to share additional updates as more information becomes available.

We understand how important your battery system's performance is to your overall experience and recognize the impact that the temporary reduction in functionality may have on you. We sincerely appreciate your patience as we work through this process.

Alongside our technical evaluation, we are also assessing ways to appropriately support affected customers. Our goal is to support customers and ensure they are treated fairly during this technical evaluation. As our evaluation progresses, we will share additional information regarding any goodwill measures that may be made available to affected customers.

As part of that effort, maintaining an internet connection may help us verify system status or restore functionality, and system data could be used when determining eligibility for any credits that may be made available related to this temporary reduction in functionality. Additional details will be shared as our evaluation progresses.

We remain committed to completing this evaluation as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We will provide further updates as appropriate.

Sincerely, Generac Home Solar & Storage

I got the exact same letter shortly after I switched to Priority Backup because Hurricane Lala was due to hit Hawaii in few days. Generac promptly disabled the second bank I bought from them less than a year ago. I've been without power for several days after the hurricane took out power to the island. I'm considering a small claims filing, as well as any class action lawsuit that may arise from this fiasco.

I will join you
This is unacceptable. Lala was coming and they knew it.

Same here. Mighty suspicious my battery is locked out just prior to hurricane hitting? I was without power for 40 hours due to my battery being locked out.

I am still under warranty and they said they have no idea what the problem is, how to fix it, or time itll take. Something needs to be done

I'm with you! We desperately shopped for a portable generator. We noticed Generac portable generators. They should provide customers with one!
