Amazing to see the product working for most places, I just have a quick question about supply voltage for the stove plate. Is it purely dc? If so how many volts and amps is it?

Thanks heaps fellas !!! I've recently bought a 120ah battery and more to the point a (1000w) inverter. Because you set the Breville to 800w and explained why..... I'll be rushing out to get a Breville induction cooker. Thanks again so much for making this video.

Every cooktop is different. Our one actually states the amps on the LCD instead some that just have numbers 1-10.. If your cooktop is a 2000w cooktop I would guess 10 uses the full 2000w and 5 would use around 1000w. This is where a battery monitor comes in handy so you know exactly what the inverter is drawing out of the battery.

Much better option than propane, this is the route I am going with.

Each has its place. We pretty much always carry both and use whatever suits the scenario best.

wow 30 mps in 10-15 minutes? Thats seems like insanely bad conversion or power loss. If my maths are correct, 1000 watts/ 12 volts= 83 amp hours. Your cooking at 120 amp hours meaning there is a 50% energy loss in the conversion. Thats pretty significant. Thanks for the real world numbers.

@joesmith1142 Screen shows at least 1080w at one point in the video and the battery is probably 12.8 or higher. There's a loss of probably 10-20% from the inverter, so your math is probably not too precise.

1x9kg gas bottle $55 1x refill $25. 1x itechworld 100ah powerstation $2500 So I can buy and refill my bottle like 97 times for the same price. Or 50 and have enough money left to get an AGM + battery box to run lights and fridge. 🤔

Spot on mate! Although most people are moving to lithium now anyway so it's probably just more the cost of an inverter that is the extra cost to setup for most. Also has the advantages of being lighter in comparison to an AGM battery and extra gas bottle setup and cooks perfectly in windy situations. It's not going to suit everyone but definitely has its applications.

Can you run and invertor and induction of AGM batteries? I heard the current can fry AGM's? Was figuring a 200 watt invertor and keeping appliances like induction at less then 1000? thought

@TrueNorthAdventures

5 ай бұрын

No you won’t be able to run it off an AGM (not a standard 100-200ah 12v agm anyway) To run 1000 you will need at least a 1000 watt inverter. At a minimum for induction I would suggest a set up of 200ah lithium. 2000w inverter. You can get away with some 100ah lithiums depending on recommended max discharge.

Sorry we dont have the links but all the brands and model number for the battery are mentioned in the video

if i can 3 meals in that day thats 90Amps and a fridge that takes 24A and lights take about 7A and then charging 2 phones is around 8A im looking at just under 130Amps per day. on a good day my solar pulls in about 60Amps a day. 130A out and only 60A in. for me it dosnt sound sustainable but would be great to see some of the people taking this rout break down there setup like this as well so we can see why people are taking this option and who it works for.

Hi yes I agree, so we have a fixed solar panel on the car which probably only does 50amps on a good day. But the car produces 40amps per hour. As we are often driving for at least an hour a day it is just something that we need to keep an eye on and cook the odd thing on the fire to save abit of power or don’t do a cook up for breakfast. It is definitely a fast way too cook though.

100 amp-hours at 12V is 1200 watt-hours? (In the US, we measure power stations like that in watt-hours.)

This battery is a 1300w battery

The irony of using an inverter is that there is a fair chance that the induction cooker itself is converting the AC to DC anyway (obviously the controls are all DC). If that's the case then there is fair bit of energy being lost in the double conversions that could theoretically be avoided. And indeed you can find videos of people who have built their own DC induction cookers (a lot of them seem to be Indians running them on solar-based systems).

Surely you need an AC current to produce the alternating magnetic field to give the inductance to generate heat in the magnetic pan ( or the magnetic core in the base of a non-magnetic pan.

We didn't see it that way, but we can see where you are coming from. Even if the induction cooker was made to run off 12v directly, it would still require an internally concealed inverter to change the current to AC to work, so it's not really that different and allows the option to use the inverter for other appliances.
