Bulletin, September 2024: Powerwall 3 and battery safety

A historical index of the product and safety matters recorded in the McKercher Corporation bulletin for September 2024.

Historical September 2024 bulletin index covering Powerwall 3, battery installation and electric-vehicle charging safety.

This page indexes matters recorded in the September 2024 internal bulletin. It is a historical record and must not be used as a current product specification, compliance summary or fire-safety instruction.

Powerwall 3 arrival record

The bulletin stated that Perth Solar Warehouse received a Powerwall 3 unit in Western Australia during September 2024 and described selected launch specifications. No delivery record, serial record or primary manufacturer release was retained with the bulletin, so the first-arrival claim is preserved as an organisational statement rather than independently established fact.

Current product specifications, approvals, compatibility and availability require current confirmation.

Lithium battery installation requirements

The bulletin referred to the September 2024 Building and Energy fact sheet titled "Lithium-ion batteries used in battery energy storage systems (BESS)" and summarised hazards and controls associated with AS/NZS 5139.

The source title was retained, but no direct fact-sheet URL or copy of the standard accompanied the migrated bulletin. The summary is not a substitute for the current standard, regulator material, manufacturer instructions or a task-specific assessment.

Electric-vehicle charging in multi-storey buildings

The bulletin referred to a Department of Fire and Emergency Services information note titled "Electric Vehicles and charging facilities in and around Multi-storey Commercial and Residential Buildings". It recorded fire, location, ventilation and emergency-response considerations as design matters.

No direct source URL was preserved. Current Department of Fire and Emergency Services guidance, building requirements, electrical requirements and fire-engineering advice must be checked for the property and proposed work.

Provenance and current-status limits

The migrated bulletin retained the names of two regulator publications but not their direct URLs, issue identifiers or attached copies. It also retained no Powerwall delivery record or manufacturer data sheet. The linked pages provide current decision paths or qualified historical context, but do not remove the need to verify primary controlled sources.
