Sure, you can\u2019t beat cooking over a camp fire – but if there\u2019s ever a fire ban, or its windy and raining or you just want a quick meal because you pulled into camp late then cooking using the Adventure Kings Inverter<\/b><\/a> from your complete energy pack<\/b><\/a> is a quick and easy way to make dinner that\u2019ll keep everyone happy. Adventure Kings Complete Energy Packs<\/b><\/a> come with an AGM Deep Cycle Battery, a Battery Box, a Portable All-In-One Solar Kit and a 1500W Pure Sine Wave Inverter <\/b><\/a>– giving you easy access to your power on tap, an easy way to recharge your battery and a way to power your 240V luxuries from home wherever you are. All you need is an Adventure Kings Complete Energy Pack<\/b><\/a> and then your chosen appliance – once the battery is fitted into the battery box<\/a> <\/b>it\u2019s just as easy as connecting your solar kit or inverter as you need them. If you\u2019re not using your inverter<\/a>\u00a0you can always use your battery and battery box combo<\/b><\/a> to run your camping fridge or charge your devices too!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re after a super quick and easy meal then you can\u2019t beat using a microwave – whether you\u2019re craving two minute noodles or a quick snack like microwave popcorn it\u2019s easy with your complete energy pack<\/b> <\/a>– just connect the inverter to the battery box, then plug your microwave in and give it a go! A good tip here is to make sure your microwave has an input power of less than 1500W – and this can catch people out, because a 700 Watt microwave usually has an input power of around 1200W and if you\u2019re trying to use a microwave advertised as around 1200W or more then it\u2019s likely to have an input power around 1500W or higher which the inverter will struggle with. Like always when you\u2019re using your inverter if you\u2019re using it at full power then it will pull a lot of current from your battery – a microwave with an input power of 1200W will draw around 100A instantaneous and about 1.7Ah for every minute that it\u2019s up and running – so the key is to only use it for quick meal options!<\/p>\n

Another awesome appliance to run with the inverter in your complete energy pack<\/b> <\/a>is an induction cooktop! While they\u2019re a high power option, the great thing about induction is that it\u2019s highly efficient and super fast to heat up and cook so you\u2019re not wasting time or energy. An awesome meal to make is a stir fry – particularly a beef stir fry means you\u2019re only cooking for about 5 minutes – just brown the meat, throw in your noodles, sauce and veggies and you\u2019ll be done! It\u2019s a meal that will keep everyone happy on a cold night! Using your inverter<\/a>\u00a0with an induction cooktop is an easy way to make a quick breakfast too – bacon and eggs are ready to go in minutes with no gas and no need to build up a fire. Induction cooktops are usually adjustable by watts so it\u2019s easy to set the level below what your inverter<\/b><\/a> is able to put out and just as easy to calculate how much power you will have used from your battery! With an Adventure Kings<\/b> complete energy pack<\/b> <\/a>it\u2019s easy to charge your battery back up again with the included all-in-one portable solar kit<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n

As well as microwaves and induction cooktops, the inverter in a complete energy pack<\/a> <\/b>is perfect for hot drinks or making a real coffee wherever you are! Again, so long as your coffee machine is less than 1500W your inverter<\/b><\/a> will be able to power it up and you\u2019ll be enjoying a hot fresh coffee in minutes. People get caught out with coffee machines if they try and steam or froth the milk the same time as the high pressure pump in the coffee machine is making the actual coffee – so if you can, make the coffee shot\u00a0 <\/span>then froth and heat the milk just after you\u2019ll have more luck and be using less power out of the battery at the one time! Adventure Kings inverters<\/b><\/a> do have a peak power rating double their rated output, so you might be ok, but it will be pulling a lot of power from your deep cycle battery <\/b><\/a>which isn\u2019t ideal if it can be avoided!<\/p>\n

The lesson to learn from all this is that your Adventure Kings Inverter<\/b><\/a> is easily able to power anything up to 1500W but the more power you\u2019re using at the one time the more power you\u2019ll pull from your Deep Cycle Battery<\/b>.<\/a> If they\u2019re high powered devices then use them for short periods and if they\u2019re lower power you can use them longer for the same overall power. An example of this is a 100W laptop charger running for 5 hours is the same as a 1000W appliance for just half an hour! Batteries actually have a little less capacity if you pull a high amount of current from them at the one time, so be mindful of your battery and ensure you\u2019re always using your portable solar kit to charge the battery while you\u2019re drawing power from it to minimise the overall power draw. Similarly after you\u2019re finished using your inverter, make sure you let your solar kit continue charging your battery back up until it\u2019s full or as close to full as possible. AGM Deep Cycle Batteries<\/b> <\/a>don\u2019t \u2018like\u2019 being discharged and they don\u2019t like being left discharged for any amount of time. So the more often you keep them on regulated solar charge the better. As above, the Adventure Kings Complete Energy Packs<\/b> <\/a>make that so easy because they include a full solar kit<\/strong><\/a> with regulator and all the wiring to easily hook them up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
