Thanks for the data. At least you backed it up with a sort of a reliable source and not like that loose canon named ArchAngel, pretending to be another Linus Carl Pauling.
I myself plan to do the following in the case of a power outage:
During the first night I'll be using the Chinstrap only without the XPAP. I know it that I can take daytime naps like that and my tongue is held by my lower jaw preventing it from falling backwards into my throat and causing obstructive apneas.
I have a single home with a two car garage (almost detached but not physically so). The distance from a car's battery to my XPAP is 75'. If I bring a car closer to the house main door then the distance is 50'. If I move to the bed room closer to the main door then the distance would drop to 15'. I 'll use the battery in the car as is (remove the hot cable connector) or thru the cigarette lighter. The inverter will be near the battery. Then I'll run a 110 volt AC extension cord from the inverter to my XPAP in my bedroom. I think that I could repeat it for 3 to 4 nights. Driving the car during the daytime will recharge the battery.
If the outage would look like that from hurricane Sandy (a week or longer) , then I plan to use a small generator 800 to 1200 watts, placed near or in the garage with both cars parked outside in the driveway, and the Garage door fully open. Another option is to use a 4" to 6" dia duct to direct the exhaust of the gasoline or diesel engine of the generator to the outside of the garage, toward the street, via a window or hole in the garage wall or door.
Any thoughts?
