How long will a Goal Zero Yeti 1500X run a heated clothes airer?
About 3.3 hours — 3 h 20 min typically, from 3 h 8 min in the worst case to 3 h 32 min at best. That assumes a heated clothes airer pulling 300 W continuously, plus the station's 13 W AC mains socket overhead — 313 W in total out of 1,044 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.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × heated clothes airer, UK 230 V | 313 W | 3 h 8 min | 3 h 20 min | 3 h 32 min |
| 2 × heated clothes airer, UK 230 V | 613 W | 1 h 36 min | 1 h 42 min | 1 h 48 min |
| 1 × heated clothes airer, US 120 V | 313 W | 3 h 8 min | 3 h 20 min | 3 h 32 min |
- 0.4 nights of eight hours, or 0.14 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 1,044 Wh of the 1,516 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 10,336 Wh of rated capacity — 6.8× this station.
- Start-up: the heated clothes airer asks for 300 W at switch-on against this station's 3,500 W peak — comfortable.
