What size power station do I need?

Add up the watt-hours (watts × hours) of everything you want to run, then allow ~15% for losses. The unit's rated output (W) also has to cover everything running at once.

Will a power station run a kettle?

A power station can only run a kettle if its AC output rating is at least the kettle's wattage. UK kettles are typically 2,000–3,000W, so you need a high-output unit (2,000W+) — many smaller 1,000–1,800W power stations can't run a full-size kettle at all. Our calculator checks this for you.

Indicative only. Real runtime depends on inverter efficiency, temperature and how appliances cycle. We allow ~15% for conversion losses.
