Not good news for Givenergy, unless I'm misunderstanding, or confusing them with another.

Mine has been ticking along. who know for how long!
As a back up, I have a Victron Multiplus II GX and additional batteries, need to find out if the Givenergy inverter goes, can I get the battery to work with Victron.

Gary Does Solar has posted a video regarding an opportunity to get Givenergy subscription software for nothing if you subscribe to Axle energy before October. Signing up gives you £25 too. You can use Gary's link to share £50 or , as I'm a predbat freeloader, I used the predbat link.
For info, Axle is a virtual power service which will use your battery to ease grid supply constraints and pay you £1 / kWh exported. You can use their full managed service or use predbat.
