Sounds great, thanks for the tip!Jussumguy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 1:28 pmI was car/ tent camping last weekend. I purchased a “centech 3 in 1 power pack”. It easily powered my Phillips remstar system one for two nights. Also numerous cell phones were plugged in and charged. I paid $49.95 at harbor freight. Also I had to get a 12 volt cord off eBay. It was $10.00 or so. Very happy with the harbor Freight battery set up. It has an LED light built in!

That’s 1 Amp for 17 hours, or 17 Amps for one hour (less the Peukert Effect); or and product of Amps and hours equaling 17 AH.
If a nominal night is 7 hours, then ~2½ ‘nights’ at 1 Amp. Mine AS10 draws 4 Amps normally, as high as 10 Amps

Thank you!CapnLoki wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 3:28 pmThis unit has a 17 Amp-hour battery which should easily run a basic pump (without humidity) for two nights, and you might get three. Centech won't win any prizes for quality, but at this price its a fair deal. The charge time seems long (though its does take a long time to really top off) so I'm thinking its a pretty weak charger - no problem if you don't need a quick turnaround.Jussumguy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 11, 2018 1:28 pmI was car/ tent camping last weekend.

If you tried to make this with basic components it would cost more, though you might have a better battery, and certainly have a better charger with a BatteryTender.
JamesBond007: if you get the ResMed pump you mentioned earlier, you'll need an $85 DC converter. If you get a Philips, its a $30 DC cord.
