Battery Operated Heater | Best Battery Powered Heaters of 2022 Reviews and Buying Guide

1. Mr. Heater Hero

For those who want the power without the stress of bringing in power cords, the Mr. Heater Hero offers a compelling option. It has enough power to handle heating areas up to 850 feet without breaking a sweat or overheating and remains light and transportable at 17 pounds, which is light for a heater of this size and power rating.

The Mr. Heater Hero ensures up to 12 hours of heating on a standard 20-pound propane tank and contains a handful of safety features like a tip-over safety sensor.

2. DeWALT DXH12B

Going beyond the basics? look no further than the DeWALT DXH12B. More than heating up a small area, it also contains three USB charging ports to juice up your gadgets with and a LED light bar on the handle that can light up a small area.

The DXH12B’s propane heater comes at a modest 6,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) at its lowest setting and goes up to a respectable 12,000 BTW at its highest. It also contains an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS), making it safe for use indoors.

If you plan on using the light bar or the charging ports, you need to use DeWALT’s FlexVolt o 20V MAX rechargeable batteries. Otherwise, the DXH12B only needs one AAA battery for the ignition.

3. Honeywell UberHeat HCE200B

People who want a battery operated heater with a sleeker design can consider the Honeywell UberHeat  HCE200B ceramic heater. Its streamlined, lightweight design means you can place this on your tabletop and have it blend in with the rest of your home.

Not to worry as it doesn’t sacrifice form over function either – it can heat up areas as large as 150 feet and contains safety features you don’t typically find at this price point like an auto-shutoff for overheating and tip-over protection.

4.  Mr. Heater MH9BX

Mr. Heater MH9BX is for those who put a premium on portability (like those of you who do long hikes) and need something more lightweight, yet also require a decent amount of heating power. Tipping the scales at 9 lbs with a full propane tank, it’s one of the lightest battery-powered heaters you can find today.

Don’t let the lightweight package fool you – it produces 4,000 BTUs of heat at its lowest setting and can last up to 7 hours with a 1 lb propane tank. If you need more power, it can go up to 9,000 BTUs if you crank the setting up to high.

The best part? You can find one for below $100.

5. Campy Gear Chubby 2-in-1 Portable Heater & Stove

Campy Gear takes a shot at a portable, multipurpose heater with this 2-in-1 device. Coming in with a rating of 9,000 BTU, it stands out from the competition with its cylindrical design that distributes heat in all directions and keeps you warm wherever you are.

If that wasn’t enough, you can switch over to the “Heat and Cook” mode and fashion yourself a portable stovetop that can support pots and pans up to 12 inches in diameter. As a testament to its quality, Campy Gears offers a 12-month warranty for this little device.

6. Mr. Heater Big Buddy

Survivalists who eye something like the DeWALT DXH12B but have a more limited budget can look to Mr. Heater’s Big Buddy as a more affordable alternative. Rating at 18,000 BTU, it boasts power beyond its size and can take up to two 1 lb. propane tanks for extra burning time.

This extra capacity, plus safety sensors for tip-over and low oxygen make it a compelling option, even if it’s a bit on the heavy side at 17 pounds (without the tanks).

7. Remington GFA Torpedo Heater

The Remington GFA has enough heating power to bring heat to your entire house with a power rating of a whopping 60,000 BTU. Its solid build quality guarantees a reliable heat source for years to come and can last up to 10 hours at the (still relatively high) lowest setting.

While not the most efficient or quiet of battery operated heaters, you can trust this to warm you up at even the coldest of winter days or use them in your workshop without getting dinged up.

8. Mr. Heater Little Buddy Cordless Heater

Mr. Heater’s Little Buddy heater brings the ultimate in portability and can hang on your hiking bag with utmost ease. Its 3,800 BTU power rating makes it no slouch in the heating department, considering how tiny this heater is.

You can start this up with the push of a button and can provide heating for up to 6 hours with a 1 lb. propane tank. It’s your little buddy for those situations you need to travel light for.

9. Remington Cabinet Space Heater

The Remington Cabinet Space Heater is the heater to get if you need heating for extended periods of time. It can run up to 24 hours with a 20-pound tank even at its highest setting, which comes at a rating of 18,000 BTU.

It also comes with wheels that can take your heater from room to room and enjoy consistent performance each time.
