Enphase IQ Battery 10
The Enphase IQ Battery 10 is a second-generation, all‑in‑one AC‑coupled energy storage system delivering 10.08 kWh of usable capacity. It integrates three IQ Battery 3 base units and features twelve embedded IQ8X‑BAT microinverters, each rated at 320 W, for a continuous AC output of 3.84 kW and a peak output of 5.7 kVA
Key Features
-
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry: durable, safe, and long-lasting
-
Passive cooling: no fans, reducing maintenance and improving reliability
-
Grid‑forming capability: automatically switches and provides backup in outages
-
Plug‑and‑play installation: AC‑coupled design simplifies retrofit or new solar builds
-
Compatibility: Works with IQ6/7/8 Microinverters, IQ System Controller, IQ Combiner, and IQ Gateway
-
Monitoring & Control: Full integration via the Enphase App, with firmware and software updates over‑the‑air
-
Warranty: 10‑year limited (covers 60 % of capacity at 10 years)

✔ Advantages
-
Seamless interoperability with Enphase microinverter systems
-
Compact installation footprint with passive cooling
-
Safety and longevity from LFP chemistry and strong 10-year warranty
-
Reliable grid-forming backup and app-based management
✘ Considerations
-
Lower continuous output compared to newer offerings (e.g. IQ 5P or Powerwall 3)
-
Higher installed cost per kWh
-
Less ideal for non-Enphase solar systems or for homes needing high power output
