And your CPAP will be much happier on 12 vdc, if it is designed to run that way. Let us know what kind you have, and I bet dollars to donuts someone will know where you can get the 12 vdc cord!
Our CPAPs require an expensive 12 volt plug, according to the manufacturer, so the inverter is the best option.
I HAVE seen cords priced at around $25, but on the CPAP manufacturer's website, they say that they require the one that's somehow different, and costs $75. :>( Whether this is BS or not, who knows. It says that a typical cord can damage the machine, but the warranty is up on both our machines anyway, so.....maybe it's a gamble I'd be willing to take. :>) I already received the 12 vdc lighter connectors that I ordered, along with the extra wiring to tap into just about anywhere that I need to.
