I have a similar kettle that uses 400watts and it is lighting fast boiling water. I also have a 12V kettle that it is only a bit slower, but very good for a 12V one. I run them from the pecron 600 with 1200 inverter. I charge the Pecron with my diy 2500 watts system from the solar. Otherwise, I would have to take it outside to charge directly from the panels. I love my kettles, especially when I go camping.
I’d guess he has two leisure batteries and his amps measurement is only from one of the batteries. So double the amps and you have the accurate figure.
Hey, I have a 1500W inverter that beeps as this it heating up. Apparently this beeping means it's drawing too much wattage. It still boils but just want to know if I'm damaging my inverter or battery? I thought the 1500W inverter would be fine to run this kettle, thanks in advance.
inverter can have trouble drawing off your battery as well, i ran a saw with 1340w peak draw off my 1500w inverter which should be fine but it beeped and shut down, later i found my battery can only deliver 1220 or so
if that is the scenario in your case then if you over draw the battery, you can cause the battery management system (if it has one) to kick in its safety mode and the battery will become unresponsive to protect itself and require trickle charge to revive from safe mode, if there is no bms with overcharge protection and that is what is occuring, it could be damaging the battery if an inverter beeps or shuts down i would always find out what the issue is so you dont damage your system or at least be very, very sure you can safely ignore the beeping
Not real sure how you only used 40 amps I have same kettle on a 200amp lithium setup with 2000watt inverter and a renolgy shunt and monitor it showed 89 amps and 800 ml of water which is max for that kettle took 3mins 24secs
Great information ! Knowing your power draw is so important !
Agree completely. Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching. Hit that like tab for me. Subscribe for more vids.
Loved how you broke it down how much it draws
Thanks Keanesy. Glad you liked it
That’s a cool little kettle
It is thanks J
Good vid about the kettle.
Thanks Di

thank you for share video
Most welcome and thanks for the comment.
Good info
Thanks
Going off your figures that kettle is only drawing 500w. Thats an impressive boil time for that power
Not really according to me. The figures were from the Enerdrive app. I must say that it surprised me as well.
However great kettle
A 900-1100w kettle but only draws half that, that's a first. Companion's specs on the bottom must be out. Being picky but it's 2.4Ah (amp hours)
Agree

Double checked the kettle was using 1064 watts while on
Interesting
Thanks

My inverter is a 2000w and handles it easy. I’m not sure why yours is sounding an alarm. I’d message the distributor.

What size inverter by wattage do you have?
Thanks
2000.

That's around 5% of your battery's capacity about 10 amp hours. which seems fairly accurate to the specs.
About the same as this guy 78 AMps ua-cam.com/video/g9K6BgHd0GM/v-deo.html
Dose this have a peak wattage?
Not sure Daniel. Sorry. Works very well though.
