Using a Nutri Bullet ?

[la Bollito]

Guys ,

Im a big juice fan you know smoothies all that good stuff , so my question is :
Could I use this in the van on the leisure battery or would I need to keep the van going for the few minutes while I use the juicer ?
or where can I see the power of my battery ?
I think its hidden way under on of the storage cupboards.

Thanks you in advance

We have a nutri bullet. Unless you are on hook up it will not work even if you are running the engine. I am not sure if an inverter might power it. I think they are about 600w. Hope that helps

thanks trailertrash
I do have a inverter but I wonder would it use up all my power of the leisure battery ?
cheers

The factory inverter is only 150W, is yours a 600W+ inverter?

You can do the sums - 600w for 1 min at 240 Volts ( Mains ) = about 3 amps/min

Using a 12/240 Inverter of at least 600 w output would mean about 60 amps/min at 12v.

My calculations may not be totally correct, I'm sure someone with more knowledge will correct them, but I think the ball park figure is about right.

errr ... Id say its the factory inverter so 150 w

WG, you are indeed in the right ball park.

Watts = Volts x Amps

Assuming all the conversions achieves 100% efficiency then:

So the Cali inverter is rated at 0.625 Amps max. The average/typical juicer rated at 450 Watts needs about 2 Amps at 240 Volts to work properly.

So no it wont work without hook up.

I don't think using a Nutri bullet on a campsite would make you very popular, they are not exactly quiet machines

There are battery powered versions available. Not as powerful but could be worth a go.

A few days juice out a botlle probally won't kill you
Saves the space anyhow..

12V Hella (Din) socket

 

[la Bollito]

Thanks Loz
and what can I use if for ?

It has thesame features as a normal 12v socket (cigaret lighter) but only can be used with specific shaped plug.
Called "Hella plug" as Hella sells diffrent things like readinglamps,coffemakers,fans,...mostly used in trucks(lorry's) but they use 24v i guess .
Don't think many use this socket in thiere Cali , you might change it in a normal 12v cigaret plug .

You can get Hella to cigarette socket converters on the bay of evil.

we make our smoothies up before we travel and bottle them, they last around 4-5 days in the fidge.
