Enphase lists 5.0 kWh of total usable energy capacity for the IQ Battery 5P. The unit is modular, so installers combine several to scale a system.

Enphase rates the IQ Battery 5P at 3.84 kW of continuous power. The battery also handles short surges above that figure.

For peak loads, Enphase lists 7.68 kW for 3 seconds and 6.14 kW for 10 seconds. These short bursts help start motor driven appliances.
