How long will a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?
About 12 hours — 11 h 53 min typically, from 11 h 11 min in the worst case to 12 h 35 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 11 W AC mains socket overhead — 61 W in total out of 725 usable watt-hours.
The fan runs the whole time it is standing up, so the hours it is on decide the cost.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × garden inflatable (christmas or halloween), UK 230 V | 61 W | 11 h 11 min | 11 h 53 min | 12 h 35 min |
| 2 × garden inflatable (christmas or halloween), UK 230 V | 111 W | 6 h 9 min | 6 h 32 min | 6 h 55 min |
| 1 × garden inflatable (christmas or halloween), US 120 V | 61 W | 11 h 11 min | 11 h 53 min | 12 h 35 min |
- 1.5 nights of eight hours, or 0.5 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 725 Wh of the 998 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,014 Wh of rated capacity — 2× this station.
- Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 3,600 W peak — comfortable.
