How long will a Goal Zero Yeti 700 run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?
About 8.3 hours — 8 h 20 min typically, from 7 h 51 min in the worst case to 8 h 50 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 9 W AC mains socket overhead — 59 W in total out of 492 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 | 59 W | 7 h 51 min | 8 h 20 min | 8 h 50 min |
| 2 × garden inflatable (christmas or halloween), UK 230 V | 109 W | 4 h 15 min | 4 h 31 min | 4 h 47 min |
| 1 × garden inflatable (christmas or halloween), US 120 V | 59 W | 7 h 51 min | 8 h 20 min | 8 h 50 min |
- 1 nights of eight hours, or 0.35 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 492 Wh of the 677 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 1,948 Wh of rated capacity — 2.9× this station.
- Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 1,000 W peak — comfortable.
