|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duxtop Portable Induction Cooktop (1800W) | 1,800W | 1,800W | Safe | ~0.8h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1800 W. **Surge:** 1800 W (resistive heating element, no inrush spike). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Power station must sustain 1800 W continuous output on AC inverter. Field note: Verify power station inverter rating is at least 2000 W continuous to allow headroom. Resistive load provides stable draw without cyclic spikes. Can I run this induction cooktop on a 1500 W power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 1800W continuous and 1800W surge at 120V. | |||||
| Cuisinart CB-30 Cast-Iron Single Burner | 1,300W | 1,300W | Safe | ~1.1h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1300 W at 120V. **Surge:** 1300 W (resistive heating element, no motor startup). Requires power station with continuous 1300 W rating and 120V AC outlet. Field note: Verify power station continuous output meets or exceeds 1300 W. Insufficient headroom will trigger overload shutdown during cooking. Can I use this burner with a 1000W power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 1300W continuous and 1300W surge at 120V. | |||||
| Ovente BGC101S Single Electric Burner | 1,000W | 1,000W | Safe | ~1.4h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1000 W. **Surge:** 1000 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. Resistive heating element draws steady current with no inrush spike. Power station must supply clean 120 V output and sustain 1000 W continuous. Field note: Verify power station AC outlet delivers rated continuous output. Undersized inverters will overheat or shut down under sustained resistive load. Can I use this burner with a 500 Wh portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 1000W continuous and 1000W surge at 120V. Runtime would be approximately 30 minutes before depletion, provided inverter does not thermally limit first. | |||||

Generator Insights
The 6000W surge rating can handle typical compressor startup events found in residential HVAC systems, well pumps, and refrigeration equipment. The 3000W running load can support simultaneous operation of multiple essential circuits. Actual performance depends on connected load power factor and startup characteristics.
This unit uses LFP chemistry, known for stable thermal behavior in lithium battery systems. The 2042Wh capacity provides extended runtime for essential circuits.

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 1800 W. Surge: 1800 W (resistive heating element). Voltage: 120 V AC required. Power station must supply continuous 1800 W minimum.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~0.8h. Resistive heating draws constant 1800 W when active. Daily usage of 1 hour consumes approximately 1800 Wh.
Field Note
Most induction cooktops offer adjustable power levels (200–1800W). For RV or camping use, cooking on a lower setting (600–800W) stretches battery runtime significantly while still bringing water to a boil. Many van lifers switching from propane to electric rely on this approach to stay within their station's capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus power an Electric Stove?
Yes. The Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus provides 3000W running / 6000W surge. The Electric Stove (Single Burner) needs 1981W / 1981W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 1019W of running headroom and 4019W of surge margin.
How long will the Explorer 2000 Plus run an Electric Stove?
Approximately 0.8 hours, based on the Electric Stove (Single Burner)'s 1800W draw and the Explorer 2000 Plus's 2042Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 405W allocated to the Electric Stove (Single Burner), the Explorer 2000 Plus still has ~195W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
