without knowing what specs your machine has and what specs the battery has, i don't know how anyone can answer that question.

good luck.
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

Don't buy a "cpap battery", you'll pay tons more than you need to.

Buy the Resmed 12 volt adapter, one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/LiFePO4-Batter ... B08MJW69N3 and one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/Lead-Acid-Comp ... 4ZJCK522WM

and a box to put it all in, and you'll have a safe, portable, battery system that will power your cpap for a week without charging it in between times.

It doesn't really matter *why* the specs say that.

On the Medistrom website, for both the 12 and 24 volt batteries, there is a compatibility that they are not compatible with ventilator PAP machines. For a product manufacture to specifically list a class of devices that their product won't work with, suggests there is a unique attribute creating the incompatibility.

I have no idea what's different about ventilators with regard to power demands, but Medistrom posting compatibility warnings for both the battery setups suggests they've either tested them or had a lot or returns when used with them.
