2 IQ Battery 5P Quick Install Guide
To install the Enphase IQBattery5P and the wall-mount bracket, read
and follow all warnings and instructions in this guide. Safety warnings
are listed at the end of this guide. These instructions are not meant
to be a complete explanation of how to design and install an energy
storage system. All installations must comply with national and local
codes and standards. Only Enphase certied installers shall install,
troubleshoot, or replace IQBattery5P.
The IQBattery 5P system includes the battery cell pack with
integrated IQMicroinverters and battery management system (BMS).
The system requires IQ Gateway Metered and Communications
Kit 2 for grid-tied operations. The IQGateway Metered measures
PV production, IQBattery 5P charge/discharge power, and home
energy consumption, and it senses when it is optimal to charge or
discharge the battery so that energy is stored when it is abundant
and used when it is scarce.

Risk of injury and equipment damage. The total lifting weight,
with handles attached, is 67.35 kg. Handles must be used while
lifting the battery. Two-person manual lifting is allowed only if
permitted by local laws. Otherwise, use mechanical lifting.
Inspect the packaging and the IQBattery(ies) for any signs of
damage, such as cracks, dents, or electrolyte leaks. Do not install
or use the IQBattery(ies) if it has been dropped or damaged in
any way. If the battery is damaged, contact your distributor for a
replacement.
Before you unbox IQBattery5P, check the “Energize By” label on
the shipping box to verify that the IQBattery(ies) will be installed by
the date shown. If the date has passed, contact your distributor for
next steps.
Remove the upper packaging cover and follow the steps, as shown
in the following image:
Do not lift the IQ Battery 5P using microinverters or the
plastic behind the microinverters. This may damage the unit
permanently.

Plan a location for
the IQBatteries
Mounting the product
Section A
• The IQBattery 5P housing is IP55-rated and can be installed indoors or outdoors.
L/N terminal blocks accept copper conductors of size 6 mm2to 25 mm2.
• Field Ground terminal blocks accept copper conductors of size 0.5 mm2to 10 mm2
• Make sure the installed location can sustain the total weight of the IQBatteries and mounting bracket.
The total weight for IQBattery5P, including the IQBattery 5P unit, cover, and wall-mount bracket, is
78.9kg. The wall must contain blocked studs that can bear the battery weight or can be of masonry or
other suitable structure.
• Make sure there are no pipes or electrical wires in the wall where you plan to drill.
• Follow local standards: Choose a well-ventilated location where the ambient temperature and humidity
are within −20°C to 55°C and 5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing, out of direct sunlight. The
optimum ambient temperature range for installation location is 0ºC to 30ºC. Provide smoke alarms in the
residence in accordance with building, re, and installation codes.
• This product must not be installed at altitudes above 2500 m.
• Follow all local standards and regulations set forth by the Distributed Network Service Provider (DNSP/
DNO).
• Up to four IQBattery5P units can be daisy-chained on a single branch circuit.
• The maximum conductor size compatible with IQ Battery 5P is 25 mm
2
, and the maximum breaker
rating with this conductor size is 80 A Type B. Use a 20 A Type B breaker for one IQ Battery 5P and
Max. 80 A Type B breakers for four daisy-chained batteries.
• Follow all local standards and regulations while selecting the AC breaker.
• Consider the dimensions of the IQBatteries, easy access, height, and length of cable when selecting
the location.
• Select a location where you can interconnect IQBattery 5P to the IQ Gateway Metered,
Communications Kit 2, and IQ Relay (as required by the local laws).

Section A - Mounting the product
Minimum clearance
The mounting instructions that follow are for the included wall-mount
bracket only. If you wish to install IQ Battery 5P in a oor-mount
conguration, order the pedestal accessory (Order code: B05-PM-
0550-O) and refer to the oor-mount instructions that come with that
product. This product must be installed with clearance at the left,
right, top, bottom, and front of the product, as shown in the gure.
Keep IQBattery 5P away from falling or moving objects,
including motor vehicles.
*NOTE: For IQ Batteries mounted side-by-side, the minimum
distance between the covers of two units should be 76 mm.
Installation handles cannot be used for clearance less than
150 mm, and installers need to consider adjusting the distance
between batteries based on cable bending radius and local
regulations.

Remove the ID cover from the packaging and keep it aside. Use
the reusable lifting handles (sold separately) and check that the
plungers on the handle are extended and ready to engage into the
IQBattery5P slots.
Align the left handle on the left side of IQBattery5P, insert it into
the slots and slide it toward the top of the IQBattery5P enclosure
until the plunger locks into place. Check that the handle is secure.
Repeat on the other side with the right handle.
Risk of injury and equipment damage. The total lifting weight
with handles attached is 67.35 kg; lift according to local
law. Handles must be used while lifting the battery. Two-
