Understanding kW vs. kWh

• Kilowatts (kW): A measure of power, or the rate at which electricity is used.
• Kilowatt-hours (kWh): A measure of energy, or total usage over time.

Formula:
kWh = kW × hours used

This distinction explains why short bursts of high power do not necessarily translate to large energy consumption.

Power & Battery Settings Overview

This section of the cooktop's settings allows you to customize how HyperCore interacts with your electrical system and manages its internal battery.

1. Scheduled Charging

Plan when the battery charges—ideal for time‑of‑use electricity plans where evenings or late nights have lower energy costs.

2. Amperage Control (4–12.5A)

Lowering the amperage may be useful when:

• Other devices share the same circuit
• Breakers trip during charging
• You prefer quieter fan operation

Lower amperage results in slower charging, but offers more compatibility and flexibility.

3. Battery Reserve (30–70%)

Setting a reserve keeps the battery above a desired SOC.
For example, you might set a lower reserve if you prefer to charge only during off‑peak hours.

Power Limiting Behavior

If the battery becomes too low, maximum cooking output may be automatically reduced.
A “power limited” icon appears in the interface, and in some cases cooking may be temporarily unavailable until the battery recharge
