12v Electric Blanket

[Dot]

Who has one of these and how much power do they use?

[dapope]

We do.
Uses 5a, no adjustable settings. Designed as an electric throw.
Ours is back in the cupboard. The 240v one draws 100w max, we rarely use it past 2 out of 9 settings.
Has a timer too. Its also a throw and is on the bed under the doona
Saw ours in coles at less than i paid on ebay

Dot you might need to turn down your wants & desires until G-man puts some he-man batteries on board.
I'd hate to see you banned from 40-mile beach for running a genny...........

Mine is 50 watts and I run it through an inverter as it is a regular ac one. It is also the single bed size which is OK on a double bed. Nothing wrong with having a hot spot.
Even left on full for 8 hours that works out to about 40 Ah from batteries.
They are the bees knees for keeping warm when it gets cold enough.

Gee Dot, that shouldnt bee too hard, I can think of a few spots... The save Rolf from prison site springs to mind...

hmmm maybe not

Did U see the throw rug Oma and Bruce had.
Phyl showed ( or did she tell her ? ) Kay ours and she got one for the van.
Runs off 240V but can be powered by a 150W inverter
$40 from Big W and some Coles stores.
Light weight and easily stored away when not needed.

If you just want a foot warmer get a heated pet bed.
They run off 12V ( via a reducer supply ) and draw about 5A on full load.
I saw some nice big one in Reject ( shop ) recently but when I went back they were all gone.

I'm just turning our rug on the bed on now , but we're home ( damn it )
