If you have two GC2 6V golf cart batteries, you might be able to run your CPAP machine for a few nights, away from a pedestal. That may broaden your camping experiences.
The OP has already told us these are 12 volt batteries, in which case they'd at best offer ~ 150 AH @ the 20Hr rate, half of which is usable. With so little understanding of how this all works it's unlikely he's going to devise a system for running a CPAP machine using the batteries as source power and will instead continue to camp where shore power is available. He also said in a previous post he wanted to accomplish this as cheaply as possible, my point being there's no need in his particular situation to even replace the stolen 12 volt battery as the one he still has will serve his purposes just fine. Another example where forum pundits are so willing to spend someone else's money $$$ when it's totally unnecessary. :R
My post was about suggestions and possible scenarios that the OP might not have envisioned. If you read the first sentence where I related "problem solved", I'm not advocating that he do anything else, just relating alternatives. How is that a problem?
