IQ Battery 5P LED flashes red three times repeatedly — DC switch is in the OFF position. This is normal when the switch is off but AC is present.
Common causes
DC switch was turned off deliberatelyBattery was powered down for maintenance
What to check
STEP 1
Press the DC switch button on the front of the battery. LED should change to green/blue when switch is turned on
STEP 2
If the DC switch was not deliberately turned off, check whether a firmware update or fault condition caused an automatic shutdown
Escalate if
DC switch cannot be turned on (does not respond to button press) — possible switch hardware fault or battery in a protected state requiring investigation
