Enphase Encharge storage Re-use

[Azimuth]

I have a whole home Enphase Encharge system after several issues the latest of which I'm currently experiencing, I'm regretting ever going with the Enphase battery system.
I want to remove my Enphase system controller and replace it with an EG4 18k(PV)

I would use the existing IQ8 micro inverters via the AC coupled capabilities of the EG4.

My main question is, can the existing 20KWh of Enphase battery cells that I already have be used without the iQ8-Batt and ac coupling system.
Has anyone disassembled an IQ Battery to see if there is DC voltage at 48V on those units?

I don't think you can do this... I have never tried to remove the iQ8-Batt Inverters before (I have replaced them) to test the voltage. Have you tried to RMA the System Controller? Not sure if this helps, but I am curious to see what you end up doing.

Dead thread but my hot take is that the smart thing to do is sell that 9540 compliant Encharge assembly unmolested. That retains more value.

The Enphase batteries do not run a 48v system, their internal voltage is higher, in the 72v range if memory serves me right.
It may be best to sell your 20KWh stock and go with a new 48v setup - wall or rack.
