Portable power station and air conditioner in the field

[M16]

What kind/size power source would it require to run this 3-4 hours?

I’m looking at getting one of these.

Not sure on that.

[M16]

Inching closer to success. I went with a 5000 btu ac from Walmart. For power I’m using an Ecoflow Max 2 with around 2400 watts. According to the display it should run 4 hours. Currently drawing 432 watts. I have a second unit ordered for an additional 4 hours run time. Working great so far. I’m trying to decide whether or not to fabricate a duct system for return air and mount the ac outside. The run ducts inside the blind. Or possibly fabricate a mount to use with the door open. I’m not crazy about cutting holes in my deer stands to mounting the ac unit but that’s another possibility.

Ecoflow also offers a portable AC unit called The Wave II, that runs off thier battery sources. Just thought I'd let you and others know.

There are also a few more micro AC units out there. Be sure to do your research.

I looked at those. But for $145 this one is cheap enough to put one in every stand. This is one time that I bought the extended warranty for $15. So if it t dies I’ll run it back to Walmart and get another one.

What do you mean you want a/c while dove hunting?

I’m can put the ac unit on my tailgate and have cold air. It should be pretty nice to have a spot to cool off on those 100 degree days.

I would go with this, currently on sale for prime day https://a.co/d/1alnsSH

Good grief

I'm fairly sure your truck has a/c AND comfortable seats

If you’re wanting to run longer I’d look into fitting the largest hard mount solar panel or two that will fit on your roof of your blind. A you should be able to fit 400-500 watts of panels on top for half of the price of a second Ecoflow. If you’re hunting at 90-100 degrees sun shouldn’t be an issue anyways. Having it tied into your currentl Ecoflow should minimize the wattage loss of the Ecoflow, and easily give you another 4+ hours. On a full sun day you could likely run all day. This way would only require transporting one Ecoflow as well instead of 2.

It does but my hunting ride doesn’t.

Solar panels are next on the list. And a Starlink mini of course. Streaming tv, etc.
