How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run an electric kettle?
It will not. An electric kettle draws 3,000 W and the EcoFlow RIVER Pro's inverter is rated at 600 W, so the station will refuse the load rather than run it slowly. Capacity is irrelevant here — you need a bigger inverter, not a bigger battery.
A UK 3 kW kettle needs a big inverter but only runs for three minutes — energy is cheap here, power is not.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × electric kettle, UK 230 V | 3,010 W | — | — | — |
| 2 × electric kettle, UK 230 V | 6,010 W | — | — | — |
| 1 × electric kettle, US 120 V | 1,510 W | — | — | — |
- Usable energy: 496 Wh of the 720 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 99,401 Wh of rated capacity — 138.1× this station.
- Start-up: the electric kettle asks for 3,000 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — not enough.
