Yes, Jackery can power electric kettles while camping, fishing, overlanding, RVing, or other outdoor adventures. The Jackery Solar Generators can also help you power electric kettles during power outages or blackouts. They are lightweight, portable, and compact charging solutions that charge electric kettles indoors or outdoors, so you get hot water whenever needed.
The size of the solar generator typically depends on how long you would like to use the electric kettle and whether you are also running other appliances simultaneously. In this guide, we will walk you through how much electricity an electric kettle uses, whether Jackery can power an electric kettle, and which Jackery Solar Generators are ideal for charging the appliance.
How Much Electricity Does Electric Kettle Use
On average, an electric kettle draws 1000W to 1500W of power to heat water. However, the exact wattage consumption will depend on the size, efficiency, and content volume of the kettle. Some larger electric kettles might consume electricity up to 1800W - 2000W.
Can Jackery Power Electric Kettles
Yes, Jackery can power electric kettles. However, you'll need to choose the solar generator that is the right size to charge the appliance safely. Here's how:
Step 1: Determine The Running and Starting Watts of the Electric Kettle
The first step is to check the electric kettle's running and starting wattage, typically available on the device itself, in the user manual, or in the appliance wattage chart. To calculate the wattage, consider multiplying amps and volts.
Step 2: Check the Rated and Surge Wattage of Jackery
Once you have the electric kettle wattage, find the Jackery Portable Power Station with a high rated and surge wattage. The trick to checking the output wattage of most Jackery Portable Power Stations is to check their names.
For example, the Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station has an output wattage of 1000W. The surge peak wattage of Jackery Portable Power Stations is typically twice the rated wattage.
You should choose the Jackery Portable Power Station, which has a higher wattage than an electric kettle. Let's take an example to understand better: Suppose you are charging an electric kettle (1000W) with the help of the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station.
Working Hours = Jackery Portable Power Station's Capacity × 0.85 / Operating Wattage of Electric Kettle = 2042.8Wh × 0.85 / 1000W = 1.7H.
Here's a table where we will calculate the running time of different Jackery Portable Power Stations when they charge an electric kettle drawing 1000W.
Note: All the running times mentioned in the table are just for your reference and may differ from the actual working time.

How to Choose Jackery?
The Jackery Solar Generators and Jackery Portable Power Stations can help you charge electric kettles whenever needed. However, the choice between the two will vary depending on your use case and needs.
