Will the Goal Zero Yeti 500 run a electric blanket?
Yes — the Yeti 500 runs a electric blanket comfortably
Its 300W continuous output easily covers the 80W draw.
Estimated runtime
about 4.8 hours
on a single full charge
Est. usable (AC): 382 Wh
Appliance draw: 80 W
Continuous output: 300 W
How we calculated this
We start from the Goal Zero Yeti 500's 382 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 499 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the electric blanket's 80W draw:
382 Wh ÷ 80 W ≈ 4.8 hours
Real-world runtime varies with temperature, cable losses, and how hard the appliance actually cycles. Treat this as a solid estimate, not a guarantee.
