Camping with a ResMed S9 Elite

Post by donnaouthouse@gmail.com » Sun May 07, 2017 10:27 am

I am looking forward to a 2-3 day camping trip with no electricity. Looking for tips on how to power my ResMed S9 elite. I have looted at the Goal Zero Yeti 1400, but don't have $1900 to spend.

Check out the link in my signature for more than you'll ever want to know.

Assuming you don't have to carry gear too far, and you're not camping in a desert (so you don't need a humidifier) you can get by with about $65 for a battery, $25 for a charger, $85 for the ResMed 12V converter plus about $15 for a few extra items. This would also serve as a nice power failure backup at home.
