Cooking in the Crock Pot Using solar energy. A partial success

I thought a partial success sounded better than a..failure. Something that occurred to me in the day since I made this video, is that the batteries in those power packs may use the C/100 method to calculate capacity, instead of the C/20 method. Which means, yes I may have my 66 Amp Hours of capacity, but only if I take the energy out really slowly. Here I am trying to take roughly 20 Amps per hour out of my three batteries, and they may not be able to source that much current. With a larger battery of say 100AH, rated at C/20, I can probably easily do what I wish to do. That will have to be a future project. FYI, I already have the easier methods of emergency cooking covered. I can cook with wood, gasoline, all types of alcohol and Coleman fuel. This is another capability I would like to have....

When I get a larger capacity battery, I will do this again, to prove the concept.
