Power options for campers

Post by LarryD » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:04 pm

Does anyone have a recommendation for DC power for the Intellipap Auto? I've looked at the Duracell Powerpack 600, but I'm still uncertain.

Do a search on battery backup, theres quite a lot of discussion.
I have a 12 volt deep cycle marine battery and a 300 watt inverter & can go 3 or 4 nights without charging. A word of warning though do not use the humidifier while on battery as it takes too much power.

The Intellipap runs on 12v. (except heated humidifier) You do not need an inverter.

Not sure how long it will run on a fully charged 12v battery
