 ====== cooking with excess electrical power ======
-Cooking and heating water with electricity off-grid is usually impractical but there are exceptions. Some setups will have excess capcacity that can be put to use.  And in some cases even large power loads can be used without affecting [[electrical:12v:intro|house battery]]((or starter battery)) [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|state of charge]]:
