The numbers
| Battery capacity | 268Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 228Wh (85% via AC outlets) |
| Continuous AC output | 600W |
| Surge rating | 1200W |
| Electric blanket running watts | 100W |
| Startup watts | 100W |
| Average draw | 60W |
| Estimated runtime | 3.8 hours |
| Energy per day of typical use | 480Wh |
268Wh × 0.85 = 228Wh usable ÷ 60W average = 3.8 hours

Recharging with solar
The Bluetti EB3A accepts up to 200W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 750Wh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours).
Solar can keep up. An electric blanket uses about 480Wh a day at 8 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Bluetti EB3A can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Electric blankets heat your body directly, so they keep you warm for a fraction of a space heater's energy.
- You’ll still have about 500W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The Bluetti EB3A uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
