Sell your GivEnergy Gen 2 hybrid inverter
The GivEnergy Gen 2 hybrid inverter is the shortest and slimmest of the three generations, 410 mm tall and 210 mm deep by GivEnergy's figures for the 5.0 kW size. We buy it in either size, with or without the batteries on it.

What a Gen 2 looks like up close
- An LCD screen, WiFi built in and a network socket.
- 410 mm tall and 27.5 kg.
- Inverter firmware in the app reads D9xx-A9xx.
- Not a Gen 3 A Gen 3 hybrid is far taller, at 588 mm, and its WiFi aerial sits outside the case.
The other unit in the picture is a Gen 1. The two are the same width and close in height, so the front is the quicker check. A Gen 2 has a screen there, where the older model has an LED display.
A Gen 2's WiFi is built in, so it needs no dongle, and it has the network socket a Gen 1 lacks.
The height, weight and depth here come from GivEnergy's 5.0 kW Gen 2 datasheet.
Batteries for a Gen 2 hybrid
| Battery | Works with a Gen 2 hybrid? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Giv-Bat 2.6 (Gen 1) | Yes | With a separate 100 A DC breaker. |
| Giv-Bat 5.2 (Gen 1) | Yes | With a separate 100 A DC breaker. |
| Giv-Bat 8.2 (Gen 1) | Yes | With a separate 100 A DC breaker. |
| Giv-Bat 9.5 (Gen 2) | Yes | |
| Giv-Bat 5.12 (Gen 3) | Yes | Lug-to-plug cable. |
| Giv-Bat 9.5 (Gen 3) | Yes | Lug-to-plug cable. |
If you're replacing the Gen 2 but keeping the packs, GivEnergy's documents list every one of them with a Gen 3 hybrid as well.
3.6 or 5.0 kW
Both sizes go on the form under the one "Gen 2 hybrid" tile, and the rating label tells us which you have. No GivEnergy document we hold prints the Gen 2's model codes, so we don't give them.
The 9.5 Gen 2 battery is another unit
Search for a GivEnergy Gen 2 and you'll find this inverter and the 9.5 Gen 2 battery, a 9.5 kWh pack. They share a generation name, and the form gives each a tile of its own, "Gen 2 hybrid" and "9.5 G2".
If both are going, "Inverter and batteries" puts them on one form.
Owners sometimes call the All in One 2 a "Gen 2" too, but that's a cabinet holding battery and inverter together, 950 mm tall.
How we price a Gen 2 hybrid
We don't publish a price list. Being the middle generation places it, and what you tell us about its condition does the rest.
Generation
A newer generation is worth more, so a Gen 3 hybrid is worth more than a Gen 1. The front of the unit and its rating label tell us which one you have.
Add your Gen 2 hybrid to the form
First it asks whether any batteries go with it. At the inverter step, "Gen 2 hybrid" is ready for you, at either size.
What's a used GivEnergy Gen 2 hybrid worth?
More than a Gen 1 and less than a Gen 3, since it sits between them in age. Within that, its condition counts. We don't publish a price list. Add a picture of its rating label to the form and we'll reply with a written offer.
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.
