The Inogen Rove 6 with 8-cell battery is the complete Rove 6 concentrator supplied with Inogen’s standard (8-cell) battery rather than the extended 16-cell pack. You get the same six-setting concentrator, AC and DC power supplies and carry bag, in the lightest configuration Inogen offers for this model.
Who it is for
This configuration suits people who want the lowest carry weight and whose days away from power fit inside a six-hour window at setting 1, or shorter at higher settings. If you need longer runtime without swapping batteries, the Inogen Rove 6 with 16-cell battery runs up to 12 hours 45 minutes on setting 1 and weighs about 0.4 kg more. Rove 6 batteries are swappable, so a second 8-cell battery is another way to extend your day.
Key features
- Six pulse-dose settings (1 to 6) using Inogen’s Intelligent Delivery Technology, which senses the start of each breath and delivers a pulse of oxygen to match your breathing rate.
- Up to 1,260 mL per minute of oxygen at setting 6.
- 2.2 kg (4.8 lb) with the 8-cell battery fitted.
- Up to 6 hours 15 minutes of battery runtime on setting 1 with the 8-cell battery; runtime is shorter at higher settings.
- Recharges in up to 3 hours from the AC power supply or the DC car cable, and can be used while charging.
- 39 dBA at setting 2, about the sound level of a home refrigerator.
- Meets FAA acceptance criteria for carriage and use onboard aircraft, based on Inogen’s technical performance test data. Each airline sets its own notice, battery and runtime requirements, so confirm with your carrier before you fly.
- Inogen Connect app compatibility over Bluetooth for device status and support.
- Replaces the Inogen One G5 in Inogen’s range.

Prescription and ordering in Canada
An oxygen concentrator requires a prescription in Canada. Your prescription sets the flow setting you use, and the Rove 6 delivers pulse-dose oxygen rather than continuous flow, so your clinician needs to confirm that a pulse-dose device at the prescribed setting is right for you. Our guide to what to expect when getting an oxygen concentrator prescription explains the process, and our Canadian team can walk you through it before you order.
The Rove 6 sits in our portable oxygen concentrators range within the oxygen category. For a fuller look at the device, read our Inogen Rove 6 review, and for upkeep see maintaining your oxygen concentrator.
This device supplements oxygen and is not intended to be life-sustaining or life-supporting. It is not for paediatric use or for people with a tracheostomy, and it requires the user to trigger it by breathing normally at rest. Setup and settings should be confirmed with your clinician.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a battery or a complete concentrator?
A complete concentrator. It is the Inogen Rove 6 supplied with the 8-cell standard battery, AC and DC power, and a carry bag. The 16-cell extended battery is the other configuration.
How long does the 8-cell battery last?
Inogen rates it at up to 6 hours 15 minutes on setting 1. Runtime drops as the setting goes up, so plan around your prescribed setting.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. Oxygen concentrators require a prescription in Canada, and the prescribed setting determines how the device is set up for you.
Can I fly with the Rove 6?
The Rove 6 meets FAA acceptance criteria for carriage and use onboard aircraft. Airlines set their own rules on advance notice and how much battery runtime you must carry, so check with your airline before booking.
What is the difference between the 8-cell and 16-cell versions?
The battery. The 8-cell version weighs 2.2 kg and runs up to 6 hours 15 minutes on setting 1; the 16-cell version is heavier and runs up to 12 hours 45 minutes on setting 1. The concentrator is the same.
