Rice cooker/steamer works.
I have been doing more testing/learning. I have an automatic 110 volt
charger hooked up to a 12 volt lead acid deep cycle battery. This is my input
power for the Renogy 20amp DC to DC
charger. I have the output hooked up to my 12.8 volt 100AH Lithium battery. Then of course my Statpower 1500 watt inverter. Then the new B&D 6 cup rice cooker.
Why the DC to DC charger, ultimately the source battery will be my
outboard motor. I have a sailpower
Mercury 5 hp and a
Honda 8 hp both with
charging capabilities. Likely not as much as I have hooked up now but nonetheless. I also have an
MPPT solar controller on the lithium too.
I can make coffee or hot toddy’s :-)
18-20 min hot
water, 22-25 min, boiling hot
water. I don’t have a lot of
equipment to test voltage/loads etc. But the battery monitors end results were showing a recovery to about 60% left after boiling water. Topping the lithium back up took only a short while.
Now to wire everything up. 2 x 150amp ALN’s, 2 disconnects etc.
I’m also thinking about a battery
monitor with a shunt. These smart monitors I have seem to be inaccurate.
