Systems and methods for battery-assisted cooking in an oven range appliance

A method of operating a cooking appliance, the cooking appliance comprising a one or more electric heaters, a main power connection to a main supply of electrical power at a first voltage, an auxiliary power connection to a battery supply of electrical power at a second voltage, and a voltage controller for regulating the electrical power from the battery supply, the method comprising:

• receiving a call for heat requesting activation of at least one of the one or more electric heaters;
• determining that a total requested battery power draw associated with the call for heat is greater than a battery power maximum threshold;
• calculating a reduced battery power draw that is less than or equal to the battery power maximum threshold;
• and
• operating the voltage controller to supply the reduced battery power draw to the one or more electric heaters.

A cooking appliance comprising:

• one or more electric heaters;
• a main power connection to a main supply of electrical power at a first voltage;
• an auxiliary power connection to a battery supply of electrical power at a second voltage;
• a voltage controller for regulating the electrical power from the battery supply;
• and
• a controller operably coupled to the voltage controller, the controller being configured to:
• determine that a timed cooking mode is active;
• determine that a battery charge of the battery supply is not sufficient to complete the timed cooking mode;
• calculate a modified power draw that permits that timed cooking mode to complete using the battery charge;
• and
• operate the voltage controller to supply the modified power draw to the one or more electric heaters.
