Tuna, if you can read this without power, could your local police, fire station, or hospital be of help, if you could get to them? And if they have a generator.

My local police dept. said to come over in case of a power outage and they could help me. Fortunately, I haven't needed to try it yet. As a backup, I have an AEIOMed Everest machine with a battery base and also a DC cord. Bought it at cpap.com. The plan would be to use it at home for a few nights and get it recharged at the police dept. during the day when the battery runs down.

I also like the idea of using a gel/AGM (absorbed glass mat) or regular car battery and adaptor and DC cord from cpap.com. Apria paid $7 for a DC cord for a Respironics machine, marked it up to $60, gave me a "discount" for a price of about $50. cpap.com sells it for about $25. I bought it at cpap.com.

I am in OKC - and that picture posted to this thread is a perfect example - it is the most amazing landscape right now - My power was out for 2 days but it is back on now - and I have to say I missed my machine also - I needs to look into the battery back up as well !!

My roommate just got a job at Midwest City Hospital and they gave her a room for both of us, which works out because she works during the day and i work graveyard..But the power came on about 7:30 pm today.., but we don't know what the coming snow will do, so we are keeping the room for a few days!

Ice!

police as power source?
