I have zero electrical knowledge and hope some electronics nerds here will help me .
I just installed a Genesis dual battery system in my new 2020 Rubicon using two odyssey Model 25 PC1400T batteries.


I want to use an Instant Pot Mini to cook with while camping. I found a youtube video where a guy does multiple amp draw tests under different use scenarios. I am linking the video, but here is the summary from the video description:

"Test Results:
- 5-minute steamer cycle used 9.59 amp hours
- 30-minute pressure cooking cycle used 16.9 amp hours
- A 4-hour slow cooker cycle used 24.5 amp hours

I was extremely pleased with the results. During the tests, I discovered that the Instant Pot used a little over 60 amps, but that was mainly during its heating and pressurizing stages. After that it went into an intermittent cycling mode, only drawing power as needed.

Here are the battery specs, which I don't know what all this means:
Pulse (5 second)
Hot Cranking Amps (PHCA)1400
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)850
20Hr Nominal Capacity (Ah)65
Reserve Capacity Minutes130
Battery here: https://www.odysseybattery.com/Batteries/Model_25PC1400T

With the above info, can anyone tell me if the battery setup I have will run an instant pot mini once a day?

Thanks
