Question about Cpap Batteries

Post by mountainmaam » Mon Apr 08, 2013 8:40 pm

I have been looking into getting a battery pack, since I often camp. I have looking, and the price range is huge. This is the cheapest I have found, so I am wondering what is wrong with it? Can someone who understands these things give me an opinion?

This above is the one I would get based on a particular testimony from a cpap user here.

Follow the posts by JohnO and you will see why.

Alternately you can put battery use or battery and camping into the forum search window and come up with tons of reading materials and different options.

A small, easily luggable battery is not going to give you more than a night or two of CPAP. Even a car battery sized battery will only give you a week or two of usage.
