| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biddeford Electric Warming Blanket (Full) | 180W | 180W | Safe | ~2.0h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 180 W. **Surge:** 180 W (resistive heating element, no inrush). **Voltage:** 120 V AC. A power station with at least 200 W continuous AC output and 120 V support is the minimum threshold. Field note: Verify the power station AC outlet provides 120 V. Resistive loads tolerate most inverter waveforms, but confirm the station's continuous rating exceeds 180 W. Can I run this blanket overnight on battery power? Only if your power source can supply at least 180W continuous and 180W surge at 120V. It depends on the power station's usable capacity. An 8-hour session requires at least 1440 Wh, so only stations rated above that threshold (accounting for inverter losses) will complete the full cycle. | |||||
| Westinghouse Heated Throw (50x60) | 100W | 100W | Safe | ~3.6h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 100W. **Surge:** 100W (resistive heating element). Requires 120V AC output from the power station. No surge spike present, as heating coils draw constant current. Field note: Verify your power station's inverter can sustain 100W for the full duration. Cold ambient temperatures may reduce battery capacity by 10-20%. Can I run this heated throw all night on a 500Wh power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 100W continuous and 100W surge at 120V. Only if you limit use to roughly 4-5 hours, accounting for inverter losses and reduced cold-weather battery performance. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 110 W. **Surge:** 110 W (resistive heating, no inrush). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Draws constant wattage during active heating cycles. Field note: Verify power station AC outlet delivers stable 120 V under continuous 110 W load. Low wattage allows extended runtime on modest battery capacities. Can I run this heated blanket overnight on a portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 110W continuous and 110W surge at 120V. It depends on the power station's usable capacity and AC output rating. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 110W. **Surge:** 110W. Requires 120V AC. Resistive heating element draws steady current with no inrush spike. Field note: Verify power station maintains 120V output under resistive load. Allow 15% inverter headroom for thermal stability. Can I run this heated throw all night on a portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 110W continuous and 110W surge at 120V. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 110 W continuous. **Surge:** 110 W (resistive heating element, no inrush). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Power station must supply stable 120 V AC output and deliver at least 110 W continuously for the duration of use. Field note: Verify power station capacity exceeds 880 Wh if running the full night. Thermal mattress pads draw steady power until thermostat cycles. Can I run this mattress pad through the night on a portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 110W continuous and 110W surge at 120V. Runtime depends on actual capacity and inverter efficiency. | |||||

Generator Insights
The 1000W surge can handle typical compressor startup events in refrigerators, window AC units, and well pumps that fall within momentary draw limits. Sustained loads must stay at or below 500W to avoid shutdown. This is a light-duty unit for essential circuits, not whole-home backup.
This portable station uses LFP chemistry, known for thermal stability in consumer lithium batteries. The 512Wh capacity and 500W continuous rating provide a workable buffer for appliances within spec. Source: EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max User Manual v1.0 (manufacturer documentation).

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 180 W. Surge: 180 W (resistive heating element, no inrush). Requires 120V AC output from the power station. Draw remains constant during operation.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~2h. Usage scenario assumes 8 hours per night, consuming approximately 1440 Wh daily. Continuous 180 W resistive load with no cycling or transient spikes.
Field Note
Verify the power station maintains stable 120V output under sustained resistive load. Capacity must exceed 1440 Wh for a full 8-hour session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max power an Electric Blanket?
Yes. The EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max provides 500W running / 1000W surge. The Electric Blanket needs 199W / 199W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 301W of running headroom and 801W of surge margin.
How long will the RIVER 2 Max run an Electric Blanket?
Approximately 2.0 hours, based on the Electric Blanket's 180W draw and the RIVER 2 Max's 512Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 215W allocated to the Electric Blanket, the RIVER 2 Max still has ~5W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
