Leisure battery use for kettle

No!!! Your leisure battery will only power 12v appliances, not your 240v kettle, hair dryer, microwave, iron etc etc. Nor will it power your fridge unless the engine is running. Boil a kettle on the gas ring.

it is possible to use 240V AC appliances via a 12v battery BUT you need an inverter which makes a kind of mains voltage. The easiest & cheapest way though is as TW suggests above .... keep it simple & use gas. 😉

there are a variety of things that will heat water using 12v click here but gas is still the easiest

I was trying to keep it as simple as possible for a newbie. I did think, though, that if I said not to try heating the plastic electric kettle on the gas ring, it might be seen as over doing the simplicity😂😂

Wonder if OP ever did get his/her cuppa?

Which is what I said 👍

Careful, ED, you might actually be agreeing with me🤣🤣🤣

Even easier, fill a vacuum flask with boiling water before you set off. Use that to make a hot drink while on route.

Agree, it’s what we do. Perhaps a hold over from caravanning days when it was more of a faff, but works fo us.

Those 12 volt electrical devices mentioned, take an age if you want more than one cup, we had one years ago.

agree, it has to be gas....certainly for someone who is just getting to grips with the absolute basics....how do i boil a kettle?
