Power black outs stop cpap waking me!!!

Post by Snuffle-nose » Mon Oct 22, 2012 5:32 pm

One thing I hate about the cpap is there is not back up so if the power blackout happens, it wakes me up and I hate been woken up!!!!! I wonder if there any alternate power supply that can be hitched up to the cpap so it keeps working despite power blackout as I travel around alot and I notoriously a poor sleeper.I often go to loo at least over 10 times at night,thus mussing my sleep up.I'd like to see a alternate power source for my cpap which is S8 light/size]
Been on CPAP for a while.....I had moderate apenoa

So.... why don't you use a battery or other type of back up power, there are many ways to get backup power these days.
Just do a search in the blue box above for back up power and you will get a ton of reading.
Started cpap in 2010.. still at it with great results.
