A Norwegian sailor running an 800 Ah lithium battery bank — installed since 2015, one of the earliest in Norway — demonstrates replacing onboard gas cooking with an induction hob powered by a 2.4 kW Victron Phoenix inverter.▶ 2:52 The induction plate, a flush-mounted unit bought at Elkjøp for around 1,000 NOK, draws 1,600–1,800 W but runs in short bursts of 3–4 minutes, dropping the battery state of charge by under two percent per use.▶ 6:28 A Maxpower alternator replaced the original Yanmar unit, lifting output from under 50 A to 100–110 A when warm, with a 200 A model now available.▶ 3:31 Solar panels supplement charging. The result: one 2 kg gas canister covered the entire sailing season from mid-May to 9 October.▶ 2:10 The setup also heats a water tank to 40°C in 15–20 minutes via the inverter.▶ 8:21 Running the water heater and induction plate simultaneously exceeds the inverter's capacity, so loads must be staggered.▶ 8:52 The practical takeaway: an induction hob connected directly to shore power requires no inverter, making it a low-cost first step toward reducing gas dependency aboard.▶ 9:00
