It is going to be expensive and heavy. 120V can do 1200W. To get that current, you need something like LiFePO4 12V 100Ah battery which can get for $200. Those are size of car battery and weigh 24lbs. Obviously that would go in the base not the kettle but will need to rearrange your kitchen. And that only halves the time, more batteries are needed for more power.
