Power Outage

[RemE]

Cool. Glad that it's working for you.

I put a power meter on my Ranger and measured the draw. If you are interested have a look at my post

Portable battery power for the Ranger

Looking for recommendations for a portable battery to power my Ranger. Considereding Ecoflow and Goal Zero Yeti models but not sure what models or stats I should be looking for.

Yup, your unit pulling 237 watts at ignition is pulling just under 2 amps, no worries with a 16ga cord.

Anyone have any links to purchase one of these UPS devices and is there a better brand for better warranty and service quality?

APC has a pretty good 3 year warranty. I had to use that on one that was 2 years 9 months old and they replaced it no charge. This will do a good job for you and with a great warranty.

GrillMeister thanks for the link, just wondering how long it would last, could you use it for boon docking on an RV for a 12 hour cook? or is that more the job for a portable power station ?

I'd suspect this would last a few hours, likely not good enough for a long cook. You'd need a power station.

Like RemE said, it's only for a few hours. I use it so a glitch or power outage won't interrupt cooks and I sleep better knowing the cook will continue regardless. If I was boondocking, I'd be using my GMG Davey Crockett which runs on 12 volts along with a deep cycle battery. You will need an inverter, but you can get up and running for $150 for that (not counting a charger).

For a 12 hour cook you may want to look for a power station with at least a 400 watt-hour capacity.
