Can Jackery Power An Electric Blanket? Which Model, How Long Can It Run?

Yes, Jackery can charge an electric blanket using renewable solar energy. The Jackery Portable Power Stations and Jackery Solar Generators use renewable energy to charge electric blankets or similar-sized devices. These portable power systems cover various scenarios, offering continuous power for home emergency backup and off-grid living.

This guide explains how much electricity an electric blanket uses and which Jackery model is compatible with the device. It also reveals the appliance's working hours when charged with different Jackery models.

How Much Electricity Does An Electric Blanket Use?  

On average, an electric blanket can consume 150-200 watts of electricity. Electric blankets have different temperature settings, such as pre-heat, low, medium, etc. Moreover, the changing seasons can be another factor affecting the wattage consumption. The brand of the blanket, working hours, and charging hours also define the electricity used by it.

Can Jackery Power An Electric Blanket?

Jackery uses incredibly little wattage to power an electric blanket to keep you warm. How long you use the blanket determines how much electricity you use each day. For example, if you use your 150-watt electric blanket for eight hours, it will consume 12 kW of electricity. The solar generator and portable power stations provide dependable power to charge electric blankets in various situations.

Here's a table showing the running time of different Jackery Portable Power Stations when they charge an electric blanket (150W):

Note: The operating wattage is considered 150W. The running time indicated in the table is just for your reference, and the actual time might differ.  

Step 1: Check The Started And Rated Wattage Of An Electric Blanket

Checking the started and rated wattage is essential as it will help you select the right size of the portable power station to charge your electric blanket. First, you should check the device for the wattage. Check the device's user manual if it is not mentioned on the device. If the wattage is not given in the user manual, you can find the voltage and ampere of the device and multiply them to get the wattage.

Step 2: Check the Started And Rated Output Wattage Of The Power Station

Now, you need to check the power station's starting and rated wattage. Always ensure that the electric blanket's capacity is less than the portable power station's wattage. A trick to knowing the portable power station's output wattage is to look at its model number (only if it is not a plus series). For example, the rated output wattage of the Jackery Solar Generator 500 would be 500 watts.

Let’s say you want to run an electric blanket (150W) with Jackery Explorer 500 Portable Power Station, then you can calculate the working hours using the formula given below:

Working Hours = Jackery Explorer 500 Portable Power Station in Wh × 0.85 / Operating Wattage of electric blanket:

Working Hours =  518Wh × 0.85 / 150W = 3 hours.

Note: While charging the devices, some power loss occurs; hence, multiplied by 0.85.
