Sell your GivEnergy 5.2 kWh battery
The GivEnergy 5.2 kWh battery stands 515 mm tall, weighs 63 kg and belongs to Gen 1, and we'll buy one on its own or two together. Fill in the form and a written offer arrives by email. Say yes to it, and our engineer comes out to disconnect the battery before a free collection in mainland England and Wales.

How to spot a 5.2
- 515 mm tall and 63 kg.
- No breaker on the pack. A separate 100 A DC breaker sits on the wall beside it.
- One bank of four DIP switches on the pack.
- Battery firmware in the app starts 30.
The shorter pack in front is a 5.12 Gen 3, the Gen 3 pack closest to it in size, and owners sometimes give it this pack's name. It's 338 mm tall with plug-in sockets, where a 5.2 connects through its own DC breaker, outside the pack.
GivEnergy's current datasheet makes it 223 mm deep and puts its depth of discharge at 80%. The 2022 training manual has it 205 mm deep, and that manual and a May 2022 sheet both give 90%. The plate shows the current figures.
What a 5.2 connects to
| Inverter | Works with a 5.2? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid inverter (Gen 1) | Yes | With a separate 100 A DC breaker. |
| Hybrid inverter (Gen 2) | Yes | With a separate 100 A DC breaker. |
| Hybrid inverter (Gen 3) | Yes | Ring terminals and a DC breaker of at least 100 A. |
| AC Coupled inverter 3.0 kW | Yes | |
| All in One | No | GivEnergy doesn't list it. The All in One runs its own 307 V battery. |
| All in One 2 | No | GivEnergy doesn't list it. The All in One 2 runs its own 307 V battery. |
Sell one of a pair and the other can keep running on that inverter by itself.
A 5.2 and its inverter on one form
Start with "Inverter and batteries" and the form asks for the inverter's model before the packs. Any GivEnergy hybrid or the AC Coupled could be yours, since a 5.2 runs on all of them.
Valuing a 5.2
We don't publish a price list. For a pair, we go through these pack by pack.
State of health
The battery management system records how much of its original capacity is left. For most packs it's the figure that matters most.
Cycle count
A high count is fine if the pack's health is good.
Generation and size
A 9.5 kWh Gen 3 pack is worth more than a 2.6 Gen 1. The rating label tells us which you have.
Cell balance
How closely the cells match. If they're far apart, the pack needs work before anyone can use it again.
A matched set
Packs of one generation that have run together are more useful to the next owner than odd ones.
Where it's been fitted
A garage or a loft is kinder than an outside wall. If the terminals or casing are weathered, say so on the form.
If the app shows each pack's state of health, a screenshot of each saves us asking.
List your 5.2 on the form
Say how many packs you're selling, and every row starts as a "5.2". Change any row for a pack that isn't one.
What's a used GivEnergy 5.2 kWh battery worth?
How much capacity it has kept and how many cycles it has run decide most of it, and its battery management system records both. As a Gen 1 pack it starts below a Gen 3 pack close to its size, before those figures move it. We don't publish a price list. We'll price your 5.2 on its own and send a written offer. A working 5.2 has its health read by a remote check ahead of collection day.
Before we collect
- For a working battery, we email you a link to a small app. You run it on a computer on the same network as your system.
- Then we run a state-of-charge calibration from our end. It reads each cell and tells us the battery's state of health and cycle count.
- If the kit differs from your description, on the check or on the day, we may requote or withdraw our offer, and you're free to walk away at no cost.
Please don't take it off the wall yourself
A low-voltage GivEnergy pack runs at 51.2 V DC with real fault current behind it. A high-voltage stack runs well above that, and an All in One at around 307 V. Our engineer isolates the system before anything is moved. If your installer has already disconnected it, say so on the form.

The 5.12 Gen 3, and the other Gen 1 sizes
Selling a 5.2
Is the GivEnergy 5.2 kWh battery Gen 1 or Gen 2?
Gen 1. GivEnergy's Gen 1 battery manual covers the 2.6, the 5.2 and the 8.2 together, and the 9.5 kWh is the only Gen 2 battery it made. The 5.2's battery firmware in the app starts 30.
Do you buy two GivEnergy 5.2 kWh batteries together?
Yes. Add both to the form, picking "5.2" each time, and one written offer covers the pair. Two packs that have worked side by side are more use to whoever has them next than a single one, so say if yours went in together.
How heavy is a GivEnergy 5.2 kWh battery?
The current datasheet gives 63 kg, and GivEnergy's 2022 documents give 54 kg. It stands 515 mm tall. Our engineer takes it off the wall, and you never need to lift it.
