Running a combi boiler on AC 70 power station

Hi

I am considering purchasing the AC70 power unit and was considering running my 4 year old condensing combi boiler from it during power outage, I have heard that most modern Combi boilers require a proper earth connection to ignite the burner successfully, Is it possible to achieve this, with the unit? Any help appreciated Thanks.

I’d be interested to know the answer to this as well.

If your boiler is within the load capacity of AC70, you can buy a neutral grounding plug for normal operation. However, the starting power of a combi boiler is relatively high and is considered an inductive load, so I’m worried that AC70 may not be able to handle it.

My boiler only pulls around 120 watts when starting up and is fed via a 3 amp circuit, to be honest the neutral bonding thing scares me I’m a bit wary of doing it incase it damages either the boiler or battery station
