Put my CPAP on backup

Post by fredpb » Wed Aug 22, 2007 11:43 pm

After reading some topics on battery backup for CPAP I checked my computer UPS, and it's logs had 23 "blackouts" where it kicked it 23 times in 4 weeks! Total downtime for the AC was 9 minutes. The 9 minutes is distributed over 23 times, but the durations are enough to turn off the CPAP machine. Ugh.

Got online with Newegg.com and got an inexpensive UPS, and now short outages should not effect my sleeping therapy.

I will also, eventually, get a long term DC battery setup for the CPAP.
