Makita DCW180Z 18V Li-in LXT Cooler/Warmer Box - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

In practice, however, even the big 100 Ah 12V battery would keep a standard 1,500W space heater running for less than 1 hour ( 48 minutes, to be exact; we did some calculations on how long can a battery power a heater at the end of this article). With a range of seven temperature settings to keep contents either cool or warm, this cooler also has a USB output port, and an LED display which shows the inside temperature and battery fuel gauge.

The main power is still generated by propane. This is one of the most capable battery-powered heater alternatives; it can produce up to 12,000 BTU of heat when running on 100% capacity. At the lowest setting, the 1 lb propane tank is can provide heat for up to 7 hours. Of course, you can always bring a 20 lbs propane tank with you on camping and refuel the DEWALT DXH12B 20 times. Best Battery-Operated Heater For Camping Alternative: Mr. Heater MH18B Propane Heater (4,000 / 9,000 BTU) Generac is one of the leading generator producers. This Generac 7117 Gp2200I model is the most fitting unit for the battery-powered heater alternative with a generator + electric heater combo. Due to high heating output and indoor safety features, the DEWALT DXH12B is the closest thing to the best battery-operated tent heater. It has a factory-installed Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) and a thermoelectric safety valve. Both of these make the use of DEWALT DXH12B inside the tent much safer.

For power outages, you would require a battery-operated heater for a room or even the whole house. For high heating requirements, the best alternative to battery-operated heaters are the big propane torpedo heaters. These can generate anywhere from 30,000 BTU to 100,000+ BTU and and can heat up an entire house in an event of an outage. Power source accepts Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries; features a 2.1A USB power port for charging portable electronic devices Tesla uses lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries. To be able to run a standard space heater for 1 hour, you would need a 1.5 lbs Tesla-quality battery. That’s durable, right? A Tesla battery-powered heater would last for 10 hours on a battery that only weighs 15 lbs…

You can bring a 20 lbs propane tank with you when you go camping. That means you will be able to refuel the heater 20 times and enjoy a maximum of 140 hours of heating. Best Portable Power Station + Electric Heater: EF ECOFLOW DELTA Power Station (Can Be Recharged With A 12V Car Charger)

Ok, now that we have seen which heaters you can use as battery-powered heaters, let’s finally answer this key question with some calculation: Why Isn’t There A Heater That Runs On Batteries?

Let’s presume that we would like for a battery to power a standard 1,500W space heater. Such space heaters run on 120V and draw 1,500W/120V = 12.5 amps. In 1 hour, they burn through: Well, if we want to power a 1,500W heater for 1 hour with a battery, we will need a 125 Ah 12V battery. According to EPEC Engineering Technologies, such a 125 Ah 12V lead-acid battery weighs between 30 and 50 lbs. Outtake: It’s a 30-50 lbs battery that powers a heater for only 1 hour. Mr. Heater MH60QFAV is a powerful torpedo heater, powered not by a battery (because that would be nearly impossible), but by propane. It can generate up to 60,000 BTU of heating output and heat homes with up to 1,500 sq ft square footage.The most optimum (yes costly) way to create an off-grid battery-operated heater alternative is to use an electricity generator or a battery-operated power station to power an electric heater. If EF ECOFLOW DELTA is just a big battery and it can run an electric heater, isn’t this a true battery-powered heater? Well, not really. A heater and a power generator (battery) are two separate devices. Together, however, they can function to use batteries to power an electric heater. These standard battery-powered heater alternatives can produce 5,000+ BTU of heating output easily. They can warm you better than a camping fire and can keep your tent warm at night. Let’s look at the 3 best portable propane heaters that can heat you better than any pipedream battery-operated heater could:

Of course, the beauty of generators is that can always refuel them. Refueling takes much less time than battery charging; that would be the case if a battery-powered heater existed, of course. Now for the batteries part: Propane is used to produce the heating output. On top of that, DEWALT DXH12B has 3 USB chargers (to charge your phones, for example), a LED light on top (useful when the night falls), and a fan that distributes the heat evenly. All of these are electric-powered featured and to power them, DEWALT DXH12B uses 20V MAX or FlexVolt batteries. While a theoretical battery-powered heater for camping could last about 1-hour max., propane can last up to about 7 hours on a 1 lb tank of propane. As you will see below, these portable propane heaters have a 1 lb tank of propane attached to the heater. Propane is actually a very rich power source. A single gallon of propane contains 91,500 BTU of heating power. The burning efficiency of propane is very close to 100% making these units very energy efficent. That’s very important when you want a portable heater.Now imagine that you would have to use a battery to operate a heater for 10 hours. What size battery would you need? You would need a 1,250Ah 12V battery that weighs 300-500 lbs. Mr. Heater Little Buddy might be small but it can produce 3,800 BTU of heating output. That’s enough heat to adequately heat up up to 95 sq ft tents even in cold regions. In many cases, you wish a battery-powered heater would exist because you want to use it for camping. There are no outlets in the forest; you have to bring electricity with you. All in all, if you want off-grid heating, you have these choices. To help you out, we have created a mix of 7 heaters that serve as the best battery-operated heater alternatives. Ok, there are no cordless heaters that would run on batteries, you might be thinking. What’s the next best thing?
