Battery Usage, Runtime, & Charging

“Three Meals” Battery Estimate

HyperCore is designed for everyday cooking on battery power. A typical meal for a family of four uses approximately 25% of the battery’s State of Charge (SOC). This is an estimate—actual consumption depends on the type of cooking:

  • High‑power tasks (boiling water at 10 kW) consume more energy but only for short bursts.
  • Maintaining temperature (simmering or keeping pans at 350°F) uses far less energy—usually 350–450 W.

Most customers finish an average cooking session at around 75–80% SOC.


Charging Times

Charging time from 0–100% depends on the electrical circuit:

  • 120V / 15A — ~8–10 hours
  • 120V / 20A — ~5–6 hours
  • 240V / 30A — ~3–4 hours

These are estimates for idle charging (not cooking simultaneously). Active cooking will reduce the charge rate.


Storage Battery Discharge

When stored without power, the battery loses about 0.8–1% SOC per month.
Distribution partners should follow a first-in, first-out (FIFO) approach to ensure units are shipped within 8–12 months, preventing SOC from dropping below 20%.

Cooktops ship from the factory at 30% SOC to comply with transportation safety guidelines.
