No more than a pot on induction. Or for that matter, no more than with propane, or friction, or pressure, or with a mini-sun. Takes the same amount of energy regardless hah.
Speaking of which, this is a pretty cool tool: www.omnicalculator.com/physics/water-heating

That’s 25AH of capacity on a 12v system though, so quarter of the capacity of a 100ah battery, if I’ve done my math right.

Probably better to think of in Wh since I’ll be running 24v. About 98Wh of energy to boil, assume *~1.2 for loss so ~118Wh total. Thats ~5Ah at 24V, or ~10Ah at 12V.
I’ll be running pretty large bank, too, so not to concerned on it 😉
