Wife recently got a C-PAP machine. We are going away for three weeks and was wondering how the C-PAP is going to operate if we do not have shore power? Any suggestions on what to do? Thanx
Many CPAP's will run on 12 volts. What you have to watch out for is the humidifier. I your wife uses a CPAP with a humidifier, you will need a larger battery because the heating element in the humidifier takes a lot of power. Some humidifiers will not work on 12 volts. The instructions say to disconnect the humidifier before turning on the CPAP. If she can get by with out the humidifier, it is a easy project to supply an outlet for 12 volts for the CPAP.
