dean1 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Need one quick, but the driver of the car reckons they kill the battery. Surely not in this day and age of tehnology ! Anyone have/used one ? Opinions please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly1980 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Well taking into consideration a kettle will most likely pull a few thousand kilowatts, the driver might be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have/used one ? Opinions please. I'm sure a kettle running off your car battery would knock seven bells out of it, my advice would be to leave the engine running whilst boiling your water. If it was my car I'd tell you to get knotted too, I don't know your situation but would a camping stove be more practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_Russell Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Failing that just fill a flask with hot water. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I'm pretty sure Towsure and Go Outdoors (old CCC) will sell them. You cannot expect to do much from just a battery. As said above, you would need to be running your engine - actually driving the car, but must be certain that the kettle is safe / will not tip hot water everywhere. Edit. But personally, I'd go for the flask option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
