Inverter for battery powered electric blanket?

[garolittle]

So after a cold night of sleeping in a camping tent I thought I might bring an electric blanket powered by a 24 V lithium ion battery pack next time. What would be a good inverter to use with this type of set up? The electric blanket would be a standard 110 V electric blanket. Thanks for any ideas anyone can offer. I am willing to spend the necessary amount of money because I do not want to sleep through another night like that again

you'll need to find out how much amperage the blanket pulls, your battery probably wont last all night though

Thanks for the response. That is a good point. I will check on the amps to see how much it draws. I have a fairly large battery pack (650 Watt Hours) so I’m hoping it will at least get me through part of the night.

still electric blankets are usually powerhungry beasts...
Sooo chances are it'll get hot in the tent (when the battery catches fire)
but not exactly comfortable

Instead find a heated car seat cushion on amazon or so
and is very likely 12V and not drawing much more than maybe 2Amps

some have a temperature control switch others have a timer;
it's way cheaper than an inverter at least.. and very likely much safer as well

Where are you camping that a quality sleeping bag won't work?

Another option is a DC powered blanket:

This one pulls 4.6 amps at 12 volts

An option for controlling heat and adding duration is 6 or 9 volt battery in parallel.

These are great ideas. I think you guys just save me a bunch of money.
