Portable power stations have become increasingly popular recently among outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and homeowners. They are compact and offer a convenient and reliable way to power devices when traditional power sources are not available.

From one of our previous articles, we know that a portable power station is capable of powering an electric heater in areas with extreme weather. However, most electric heaters have a rated power greater than 1000W, which means you'll need a portable power station with at least a 1200Wh capacity to power them. If you want to power an electric heater for at least 3-4 hours, you may need a portable power station with at least 3000Wh and this can be quite costly.

In this case, we wouldn't recommend using an electric heater outdoors. Instead, try to use an electric blanket.

How Many Watts Does An Electric Blanket Use?

First, you need to know the wattage of your electric blanket.

Electric blankets from different brands typically have wattages ranging from 50 to 200 watts. Thus it is important to make sure that the portable power station will have enough wattage to power your electric blanket. For example, if your electric blanket has a wattage rating of 200 watts, you need a power station with a minimum output of 200 watts.

How To Calculate The Working Time?

After knowing the wattage of your electric blanket and your portable power station, we can use the formula below to calculate the working time:

Working Time(hours)=PPS's capacity*0.85/powering devices' operating power.

(We multiply by 0.85 because the inverter that converts the 12V DC power to 120V AC power isn't 100% efficient. Instead, it operates at around 85% efficiency. To learn more about the conversion rate, CLICK here.)

For instance, let's consider the POWEREPUBLIC T1200. It has a rated wattage of 1,200W and a battery capacity of 1,110Wh. If you want to power a 100W electric blanket, then the working time will be:

  • 1,100Wh*0.85/100=9.35 hours

Also, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using a portable power station to power your electric blanket. Make sure that the power station is fully charged before use and never exceeds the recommended wattage output.

It is important to know the amount of time you will need to power an electric blanket before purchasing one. Also, if you want to power other devices and appliances at the same time, choose a portable power station with higher capacity.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, using a portable power station to power an electric blanket while camping or enjoying the great outdoors provides a convenient and comfortable solution for staying warm in cooler temperatures. 

By doing that, outdoor enthusiasts can extend their camping season and enjoy the beauty of nature without sacrificing comfort.
