My next step will be purchasing a solar setup so I can charge it for multi-day camping trips. It would be nice to be able to run the heater longer, but my sleeping bag/pad setup is on point so I’m not cold at night anyway. Three hours of heat is long enough to hang out and read my book before bed. Looking back I should have saved up some money for the Jackery 1500 which would have ran for over 5 hours, but it’s hard to justify the price.
I recently learned that a typical person release 100 Watts of heat per hour if that puts it into perspective. It rose the temperature maybe 10☏ (if that), but that’s enough to take the chill off. After doing the math I figured the 300 Watt High Setting would only give 3 hours of heat, but the 100 watt low setting looked promising at 10 hours.Īfter testing it out I learned that 300 watts is plenty of power to heat up a tent, but the 100 Watt low setting doesn’t cut it. I ended up following a friend advice and bought a Honeywell Heatbud Cubicle Heater. My Goal Zero Yeti 1000 power station has a 983 watt hour battery so I needed to find a low wattage heater. A big space heater won’t work, but a low wattage cubicle heater works surprisingly well. After using it a few times I decided to test my luck with a heater. I was able to run a tv, radio, and electric grill, during the Ohio State games so it was perfect for me. It was the perfect power station for tailgating. It wasn’t cheap, but I would compare it to a high end consumer grade model.

I was already looking at portable power stations to take tailgating so I ended up buying a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 portable power station. When I first started looking at portable power inverters I was convinced that I’d be able use a heater inside my tent. The hi Using A Portable Power Station As A Battery Powered Tent Heater That gives you 3 hours of power on the 300 Watt high setting and 10 hours on the 100 Watt low setting. The Honeywell Heatbud Cubicle Heater and Goal Zero Yeti 1000 is what I use. Pairing a low wattage cubicle heater with a high battery capacity power station would allow you to heat your tent for a few hours. That’s way out of my price range, but there are low wattage heaters that you can use. Commercial power stations could handle that for a few hours, but you would need to spend about $5,000. A typical electric space heater uses 1000-1500 watts of electricity. Electric heaters burn through way too much power to be an effective option for campers.
BATTERY POWERED HEATER GENERATOR
There’s no easy way to use a full sized electric heater in a tent without a generator or electrical access.
The only option is to buy a high battery capacity portable power station to use with a low wattage heater. Unfortunately, there aren’t any dedicated battery powered camping heaters currently on the market.
