Hello smart people.
I want to bicycle tour this summer and camp out. I use a BIPAP machine.
Can someone please instruct me in how to make this work?
I am a technological dunce.
What is a battery possibility?
Thank you in advance.

Re: Bicycle touring, camping battery for BIPAP?
Can you specify (with numbers) what model of machine?
Necessary because different machines have different power needs.

Don't the power requirements vary w/ pressure, etc?
I have 5 of the older model portable outlet batteries and they get me through 10 night backpacking trips with power to spare using resmed air mini but my pressure is low at 6 and I do not use the humidifier when out; my total cpap kit weighs in at ~13-14 lbs which is manageable. The newer model batteries look heavier so I would likely have passed on them given reviews of solar charging not being reliable but bikepacking they might be fine. One of the batteries was defective and they overnighted me a replacement.
Have you looked into zopec, they can double as a battery backup when you are not out on tour.
