Staying Warm All Night: Powering Diesel Heaters with Portable Power Stations

ALLPOWERS UK

Power Your Winter Camping

As the winter camping season sets in, braving the cold for a night under the stars doesn't have to be a chilly affair. With a Diesel Heater, you can keep warm while you sleep, using minimal power for the ignition and fan. While the heat is generated by burning diesel, the electrical components require a reliable power source. That's where portable power stations, also known as power stations or solar generators, come in handy for campers.

A suitable solar panel can convert midday sun into stored electricity within a Power Station, which can then be used to power your Diesel Heater throughout the night.

 

Understanding Diesel Heater Operations

Diesel heaters are a blend of old and new technology, using a small electrical charge to initiate combustion and a fan to distribute warm air. They provide a reliable source of heat for your RV, campervan, or remote cabin, making them ideal for off-grid adventures.


Power Requirements for Common Diesel Heaters

Typical Diesel Heaters operate within a range of 8 to 12 amps during startup, with some models requiring as little as 0.5 amps to run continuously, averaging around 1-2 amps. With a 12V power source, this equates to approximately 96–120W at startup and about 24Wh thereafter.

 

Calculating Runtime with ALLPOWERS Power Stations

When considering the runtime of a Diesel Heater powered by an ALLPOWERS S1500, S2000 PRO, R1500, R1500+B1000, or R2500, you're looking at a device with a substantial capacity. For instance, the S1500 offers 1092Wh, while the R2500 provides an impressive 2016Wh. These power stations can easily handle the power draw of a Diesel Heater, providing you with a warm night's sleep.

Economical, Eco-Friendly, and Convenient

Using a solar generator to power your Diesel Heater is not only cost-effective but also an environmentally friendly choice. By harnessing the sun's energy, you reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower your carbon footprint. Moreover, the convenience of a portable power station cannot be overstated. With multiple output ports, you can power a variety of devices and equipment during your trip, such as a CPAP Machine, Drones, laptops, and fans.
