Cpap Setup
Help with configuring battery for my breathing machine.?
I use a CPAP machine to keep my airway open while I sleep. I want to
configure a light and energy dense battery setup so I can go camping
with my CPAP. Figure on three days worth of power. Trying to keep
costs down as a third criteria. Thinking Lithium Ion. The CPAP input
is 1…@1.5 amps. Figuring on a 20 watt power consumption. Question
is, as a novice, am I correct in figuring I’ll need 480 watt-hours (20
watts x 8 hrs sleep x 3 days). Seems like a sizeable battery pack if
I am not mistaken. Who do I get it from? I know Li battery
technology can be somewhat dangerous if mishandled i.e. overheated,
hot overcharge, ect. Is there a more practical battery technology
suggestion for my application that I am not aware of? I’ll gladly
take any suggestion or guidance and link to research. The criteria
again is reliability, lightweight and portable, compact as is
practical. Thanks in advance.
Your obviously not going camping today so call where you get your machine from. They will tell you properly. When it comes to my breathing I wouldn’t want to rely on a post from the internet
