Start near 300Wh for light overnight kits

Lights, phones, cameras, and a laptop can fit a compact battery when you are not using electric heat.

  • Easy to carry
  • Usually 600W-class output
  • Limited overnight heating runtime

Look near 800Wh for overnight heat

An 80W heated blanket for eight hours needs roughly 753Wh after a simple 85% AC efficiency assumption.

Choose 1,800W or more for cooking appliances

Kettles and microwaves draw high power even when used briefly. Compare the appliance input label with continuous rated output.
