Battery Stoves: Cook At 10KW From A Standard Outlet, No Electrician Needed

A new type of kitchen stove can deliver 10,000 watts of cooking power from a standard wall outlet — no electrician needed. It’s called the Impulse Stove, and it uses a built-in battery to make that possible.

Most high-powered stoves need a special 240V circuit with 30 to 50 amps. That often means hiring an electrician and upgrading an older home’s electrical panel. The Impulse Stove skips all that. It plugs into a regular 120V outlet and draws just 15 amps from the wall.

The secret is its 3 kWh battery. The battery charges slowly when the stove isn’t in use. When someone turns on a burner, the stove pulls extra power from the battery to reach full strength. At 10 kW on one burner, roughly 8.2 kW comes from the battery. The stove can hold that level for roughly 22 minutes before dropping back to 1.8 kW per burner.

That peak power is serious. The company says it can boil water in under 40 seconds. It’s described as five times more powerful than a top gas burner, which maxes out at 18,000 BTU per hour. It’s also said to be three times more powerful than other induction stoves.

The stove has four 9-inch burners, each capable of hitting 10 kW. It comes in 30-inch and 36-inch sizes and fits standard counter cutouts. The height above the counter is reportedly just 1⅛ inches. An approximately 12.8-inch LCD display shows how power is being used across burners.

Other companies are making battery stoves too. The Copper Charlie reportedly has a 5 kWh battery and four cooking zones, but each zone only reaches around 2.8 kW. The Electra also reportedly has a 5 kWh battery, but its burners top out at roughly 1.8 kW. Neither matches the Impulse Stove’s 10 kW peak.

Battery stoves could matter in older homes where electrical upgrades aren’t practical. They also keep working during a power outage, at least for a short time, since the battery still holds a charge. The Copper Charlie, for instance, is eligible for rebates and tax incentives that can reportedly help offset its $5,999 price. The Impulse Stove is also the first UL 858-certified battery-integrated appliance in the United States.
