Tips

  • Use DC adapter if your CPAP supports it — gains 10-15% more runtime
  • Turn off heated humidifier to nearly double battery life
  • At 40W, a 500Wh battery gives ~8.5 hours (1 full night)
  • Power stations under 300W output are fine for CPAP (low draw)
  • Look for models with quiet fans — you're sleeping next to it
  • Keep the power station charged to 80%+ at all times for emergency readiness
  • Test your exact CPAP model's draw with a kill-a-watt meter for precision
