About 51 hours. A 3,000 Wh power station has roughly 2,550 Wh usable, and an electric blanket averages about 50 W because the compressor cycles on and off. Depending on the model the range is about 34 to 102 hours.

The math
| Usable capacity | 3,000 Wh × 0.85 = 2,550 Wh |
|---|---|
| Average draw | 100 W running × 0.5 duty = 50 W |
| Runtime | 2,550 ÷ 50 = 51 h |

Questions people ask
How long will a 3,000 Wh power station run an electric blanket?
About 51 hours (about 2.1 days). A 3,000 Wh power station has roughly 2,550 Wh usable, and an electric blanket averages about 50 W because the compressor cycles on and off. Depending on the model the range is about 34 to 102 hours.
How many watts does an electric blanket use?
An electric blanket typically uses about 100 watts on high, roughly 50-150 W depending on size and setting. It is a resistive load with no startup surge.
How do you calculate power station runtime?
Hours ≈ capacity in Wh × 0.85 ÷ average watts. The 0.85 allows for inverter and battery losses.
