Battery Backup suggestions for S8 Resmed

Hello All,

First time poster. We have a hurricane coming. Any suggestions on a compatible battery backup for my cpap?

I see plenty on Amazon.com and Cpap.com but I'm confused if they will work with my machine.

Thank you for any suggestions!

I normally recommend a deep cycle battery such as the one listed about 12 posts down in the thread listed in my sig. However, on short notice your best bet might be a marine deep cycle from a West Marine or (cheaper) a Walmart or Costco.

The other problem is that you'll need special 12V adapter for your ResMed pump. A quick search yielded this:

You'll also need a "cigarette socket" to go on the battery - about $10 on Amazon, but you can probably get it at Pep Boys, etc.

Thanks so much!
