Troubleshooting

If the Encharge Battery(ies) are not operating correctly, do the following. If 

the issue persists, contact Enphase at enphase.com/en-us/support/contact.
A )  If the Encharge Battery(ies) do not operate, check the temperature in the 

room and increase cooling and/or ventilation as required. Check that the 

front, and top sides of the Encharge 3T have at least 15cm (six inches) 

Encharge 10T have at least 91 cm (thirty-six inches) of unobstructed 

clearance.

B )  If the Encharge LED is off, turn off the breaker for the branch circuit, wait 

for at least one minute, and turn it back on.

 NOTE

: During a brownout or blackout, the Encharge powers down 

automatically. This is normal. When power is restored, it automatically 

starts up again.

C )  If you do not see Encharge information in Enlighten, check that the IQ 

Envoy and the Internet connection are working. If the issue persists, contact 

Enphase Customer Support at

 enphase.com/en-us/support/contact.

A )  Use the Enphase Installer Toolkit to commission the Encharge  

Battery(ies). Once connected to the IQ Envoy, refer to the Installer Toolkit 

help topics for more information.

B )  After the IQ Envoy has detected the Encharge Battery(ies), the Encharge 

LEDs operate as described in the following section.

OPERATION

LED overview

After being commissioned, the LED flashes yellow while each Encharge 

Battery boots up. If the LED rapidly flashes green for more than two minutes, 

the battery is in trickle charge mode and will remain so until it reaches a 

minimum state of charge (up to 30 minutes). After the Encharge Battery is 

booted up, the LED becomes blue or green depending on the charge level. 

If the LED flashes yellow after one hour or changes to a flashing red state, 

contact Enphase Customer Support at

 enphase.com/en-us/support/contact.
