How Long Will It Run

How long will a Bluetti AC300 + B300 run a heated clothes airer?

About 7 hours — 7 h 1 min typically, from 6 h 37 min in the worst case to 7 h 26 min at best. That assumes a heated clothes airer pulling 300 W continuously, plus the station's 18 W AC mains socket overhead — 318 W in total out of 2,233 usable watt-hours.

No thermostat on most models, so it draws its full rating for as long as it is on — a cover over the load dries it faster and saves hours.

  • Start-up: the heated clothes airer asks for 300 W at switch-on against this station's 6,000 W peak — comfortable.
