We forgot to time it but it was approimately 5 minutes certainly less than 10 minutes. We have some of the Old Xantrex power packs with a 300 watt inverter on the outside and a 20 A-H sealed battery inside. This particular pack is 10 years old and has seen a lot of deep cycle service to the point of total 100% DoD Amanda wanted to be able to make a cup of coffee since the hot dog steamer is not convenient for brewing coffee on.

She asked if she could run it on my little Xantrex power pack with a 300 watt inverter. Sure I said, then suggested we try it as a test while plugging in the power meter. Sure enough the water boiled and total consumption was 0.02 kilowatt hour. She runs a hot dog wagon in a location that has no electrical power. So now she can make hot chocolate on a cold day.
