Having an electric car heating blanket can be a great way to enjoy comfort and warmth during the cold winter months. Usually, it is a car heating blanket plugged directly into the cigarette lighter or USB port, which can keep you warm without draining the battery, but be careful not to use it for a long time when the vehicle is not running.
Does the electric blanket drain the battery?
Car electric blankets do drain battery power, and you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Use it when starting the car
Under normal circumstances we use the car electric blanket in cold winter and only when we need to use the car, in this case, the car electric blanket consumes almost no battery power, because after we start the vehicle, there will be a generator to charge the car battery, and the battery power can be constantly replenished, so it will almost not consume the power.
2. Use when turning off the car
It is important to note that when the car is not in use, if we use the electric blanket in the car for a long time it will cause the car battery to have insufficient power, and in serious cases, it will lead to a loss of power in the car battery, and the vehicle will not be able to start, which will affect the service life of the car battery.
3. Healthiness of the battery
Older or weaker batteries may not be able to handle the additional load effectively, increasing the risk of battery depletion. Regular battery checks and maintenance are required and can help to ensure that the vehicle battery remains in good condition to withstand additional loads.
4. Monitor usage
It is important to know when the electric blanket is being used, under what conditions, and to use it wisely.
How long does it take to heat a car blanket?
Heating car blanket usually can be heated to the required temperature in about 5 minutes, of course, different electric blankets may have different heating time, some heating car blankets can reach the required temperature in 3 minutes after plugging into the car power supply, while some need 10 minutes to reach the required temperature.
How long can the electric blanket be used after turning off the car?
When you turn off the car, the electric blanket can be used for about 5 hours, but this is not absolute, some cars have backup power supply, it can be used for a whole night without any problem. Generally, the electric blanket can be used for a long time after the car is turned off, during this period, please do not use other electrical appliances to deplete the battery power, if you use the electric blanket when using other devices will greatly increase the risk of battery depletion.
How long does the heated car blanket last?
Heating car blanket can be used for about 4 years, in order to increase the service life you need to pay attention to the use of maintenance, comply with the product instructions, so that the electric blanket can operate effectively, there will be no threat to the life and health and property safety.
Precautions for using 12V power supply heating electric blanket
Using electric blanket in winter is a feasible choice, but there are some precautions that need to be paid attention to, the specific precautions are as follows:
1. Battery compatibility
Most electric blankets for automobiles are designed to run on a 12-volt power system, capable of matching and mating with standard automobile battery outputs, and we need to pay attention to the conditions under which our electric blankets are used to avoid accidents.
2. Power Consumption
Most electric blankets have a power consumption of around 40 watts, which is equivalent to around 3 amps, while car batteries have a capacity of around 60 amp hours, and you need to make sure that the car battery is able to provide enough power not to interfere with its main function of starting the car, and not to overdraw the power of the car battery.
3. Usage
In order to safely use the electric blanket without depleting the battery, attention needs to be paid to the usage situation, and the use of the electric blanket needs to be restricted to a short period of time after the car has been started, or after the car has been turned off.
Is it appropriate to use 12V power supply to heat the electric blanket?
It is suitable to use 12V power supply to heat the electric blanket, because the electric blanket in the car is different from the standard electric blanket at home, the electric blanket in the car is supplied by 12V DC power system, while the standard electric blanket at home is supplied by AC power, which needs more power. Of course, we also need to pay attention to make sure that the electric blanket has safety certification, automatic shut-off function, etc. to ensure that we are safe and reliable when using it.
Conclusion
12V electric blankets have a small impact on battery life, you need to pay attention to the use of the appropriate circumstances, choose a safe and reliable electric blanket, to maximize our personal life and health.
