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 cellpack
with integrated IQMicroinverters and battery management
system (BMS). The system requires IQCombiner 5/5C and
IQSystemController3/3G for backup operation. The IQGateway
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. The IQBattery5P system
provides backup power with EnphaseIQSystemController3/3G.

NOTE: The Enphase IQBattery5P system requires an internet
connection through the IQGateway in the IQCombiner. Failure
to maintain an internet connection may have an impact on the
warranty. See enphase.com/warranty for full terms.
The IQBattery5P and IQSystemController are both connected to
the IQGateway and communicate using communication control
cables. The Enphase PV system communicates to the IQGateway
using power-line communication.
Verify that main service is 120/240 VAC, and not 208/120 VAC.
IQBatteries cannot be installed where L1 to L2 measures 208 VAC.
NOTE: The rated energy capacity of the battery is 5.0 kWh.
Install the PV system and the IQCombiner as directed by the
Enphase installation manuals.

Unboxing
IQBattery5P
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:
Risk of injury. Take care when lifting. The IQBattery5P unit is
heavy (66.25 kg/146.05 lbs) and requires two people to lift it.
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 it’s damaged, contact your distributor for replacement.

Plan a location for the
IQBatteries
Mounting the product
Section A
• The IQBattery5P housing is NEMA type 3R and can be installed indoors or outdoors.
L1 /L2 terminal blocks accept copper conductors of No. 10 - 3 AWG. Field Ground terminal blocks
accept copper conductors of No. 22 - 8 AWG.
• Enphase IQBatteries have been evaluated by UL solutions to UL9540A standard for outdoor and non-
habitable indoor residential installations. Installations in nished, non-habitable indoor spaces (such
as detached and attached garages, utility closets, basements, and storage or utility spaces) shall be
permitted.
• Make sure the installed location can sustain the total weight of the IQBatteries and mounting bracket.
Total weight for IQBattery5P, including the IQBattery5P unit, cover, and wall-mount bracket, is 78.9 kg
(174 lbs). 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 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 (−4°F to 131°F) and 5% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing, out of direct
the location.
• Select a location where you can interconnect IQBattery5P to the IQSystemController.
• This product must not be installed at altitudes above 8,200 ft (2,500 m).
• Follow all local standards and regulations set forth by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Up to four IQBattery5P units can be daisy chained on a single branch circuit.
IQSystemController 3/3G supports up to a maximum of 80 A breaker for IQBattery5P connection
circuit.
• The maximum conductor size for IQBattery5P is 3 AWG, and the maximum breaker rating with this
conductor size is 80 A.

sunlight. The optimum ambient temperature range for installation location is 0ºC to 30ºC (32ºF to
86ºF). Provide smoke alarms in the residence in accordance with building, re, and installation codes.
• Consider the dimensions of the IQBatteries, easy access, height, and length of cable when selecting

If mounted in the path of a motor vehicle, Enphase
recommends a minimum mounting height of 91 cm (36 in)
above the oor.
For IQBatteries mounted at the same level, the minimum distance
between covers of two units shall be ≥ 3in. Use the raceway adapter
(Enphase Accessory) between units only if the distance between
units is ≤ 165 mm (6.5 in).

conguration, order the pedestal accessory (B05-PI-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.

IQBattery5P on a bracket that is not properly mounted.
• Use 1/4 in screws to fasten the top shield to the wall.
• Use #20 (5/16 in) screws/lag bolts (or masonry attachments
for masonry wall) to attach the bottom mounting bracket using
one screw/lag bolt and washer for each slot (9.2 mm/0.36 in).

Open the front wiring cover by unfastening the 11 captive screws from the wiring
cover. Use an electric drive; do not use impact drives/impact drills.
Drill the appropriate cutout on either the back or side of the unit or
on both based on congurations. The rear entry can support the
conduit with diameter of 1/2 in (13 mm) to 3/4 in
(19 mm) while side entry can support the conduit with diameter of
1/2 in (13 mm) to 1-1/4 in (32 mm). Decide the required conductor
size for L1, L2, GND and cutout diameter based on the conduit
selected.
NOTE: Drill the appropriate cutout before mounting the unit on the wall.
Ensure that the drilling machine does not touch any internal
components or wall.
Clean the debris from inside the battery unit after drilling.
