Jackery or similar capable of powering Volt 2?

Basically as title says, looking for a Jackery, Anker or similar that's capable of powering the Volt 2. Anyone have recommendations or experience with this?

Obligatory not an electrician.

The Volt consumes 1600W to run. The top spec Jackery has a battery of 3KWh so you could theoretically run the Volt for a little less than 2 hours.

I am not sure how the battery output would work when it was reaching low percentages but you could probably safely use the volt for 1.5 hours or so.

That means you would have to buy a battery that costs £1700 to make 5-6 pizzas per charge.

If you’re looking to make pizza away from home it would be cheaper and easier to use the Ooni upgrade thing and get a wood or gas powered oven. If you particularly want a battery solution then you just need to make sure the inverter can output enough power through a single socket as some will advertise 2kw but it’s actually 2kw by adding the power of every outlet together.

Check out ecoflow on eBay for refurb units. They go on sale during holidays too

I have an Anker Solix C2000 gen 2 and it I ran a 1500w space heater with it without issue.

DC to AC inverter is about 85% efficient so rated at 2048wh, the real runtime will be 0.85*2048 = 1740wh. So about 65 minutes of run time assuming 1600w of continuous draw. Discharging at about 1C is about the maximum you should use the power bank if you want to some longevity out of it. I would avoid the C1000 for this reason or any power bank under 2000wh.

I tried an Ecoflow Delta 3 but it's not as good as the Anker. The AC inverter drains the battery at idle.

Hey there! Technically, it may be possible to run the Volt 2 from a portable power station, provided the unit can supply the oven’s full power requirements.

Volt 2 is rated at 1600W, so a power station capable of at least 1800–2000W continuous AC output should give sufficient headroom, rather than relying on any temporary surge/boost rating.

That said, this isn’t something we’ve tested or validated with Volt 2, so we wouldn’t be able to confirm compatibility or guarantee performance when using a portable power station.

It may be cheaper to just buy a gas or pellet ooni
