12 Volt Battery Power
There are 2 methods for powering a CPAP machine from a battery. Many CPAP machines have a connection for you to plug in DC power directly from a battery or car accessory outlet. Alternatively you can use a DC to AC converter to supply normal household voltage to your CPAP machine. In the following sections we will go into more depth about both methods as well as talk about the pros and cons for both.
Direct DC Power
