How Long Will the Anker SOLIX F3800 Run an Electric Kettle?
Updated 2026-10-17 · Yes
About 2.2 hours. The Anker SOLIX F3800 stores 3840Wh, and an electric kettle averages about 1500W. That’s enough for about 21 typical 6-minute uses.
The numbers
| Battery capacity | 3840Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 3264Wh (85% via AC outlets) |
| Continuous AC output | 6000W |
| Surge rating | 9000W |
| Electric kettle running watts | 1500W |
| Startup watts | 1500W |
| Average draw | 1500W |
| Estimated runtime | 2.2 hours |
| Energy per day of typical use | 150Wh |
3840Wh × 0.85 = 3264Wh usable ÷ 1500W average = 2.2 hours

Recharging with solar
The Anker SOLIX F3800 accepts up to 2400W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 9 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Solar can keep up. An electric kettle uses about 150Wh a day at 0.1 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Anker SOLIX F3800 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- A 1.7 L kettle boils in about 4 minutes at 1,500W, so each boil uses roughly 100Wh.
- You’ll still have about 4500W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The Anker SOLIX F3800 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
