My Respironics machine draws 2.5 amps without the humidifier and 4 amps with the humidifier on. It draws my two 6 volt batteries down a to 60/70% overnight depending on how long I sleep. I like to sleep!!
I tried using a cheap inverter (before reading all the warnings about doing so) and the noisy fan on the inverter kept waking me up. I bought the cigarette plug adapter ($75 I think) and put in a plug for it right beside the bed. I ran a new set of wires to the plug straight from the fuse panel. I had to do a bit of fishing to get the wire to where I needed it.
I also have a battery box with a cigarette plug on it that I can use in an emergency at home. Works just fine for a night or two.
