Whoops, first power failure on CPAP

It's 9.30pm in Sydney Australia and the power has gone out in our suburb. No battery for the CPAP. Now the rubber really hits the road.

I'm hoping I can stay awake long enough til the power comes back. In the meantime, what is the recommended back-up option for an S9 Autoset please? I think I'll sort something out this week.

A 12v adaptor for the machine and a deep cycle marine battery would work for short outages.

Some have small auxiliary generators.

The adapter that Heaveylids referred to is here https://www.cpap.com/productpage/DC-Con ... hines.html. It is a lot more expensive than a normal 12 volt DC connector (like Philips Respironics uses), but you could use this set-up in your car by plugging it into where the 12 volt power supply is or use the other additional cable that it comes with to connect it directly to a battery as well.

Thanks. The power came back on after about an hour thankfully but it was a good prompt to get something organised.

You must live near me! Power came back on about 10:30.

Ahh yes, just checked your profile and yes, you must live close by.

Ha, ha. Yes!!! I'm in 2776. I was just nodding off when it came back on so I put the mask on asap.
