Power for your CPAP

A battery the size of a lunchbox keeps your CPAP running when the power goes out or you camp off-grid. Here is how many nights each one gives, and which to buy.

How many nights do you need?

Pick your settings. We show the cheapest battery that covers it, and how every option compares.

1. Do you use the heated humidifier?
2. How many nights without power?

ResMed's battery guide: an AirSense 10 at pressure 10 draws about 28 W with the heated humidifier on setting 4 and about 11 W without it. We assume 8 hours a night and that you can use 85% of the rated capacity. Your machine and pressure may differ: check its manual.

Our picks

Best for most CPAP users

Bluetti Elite 100 V2

Nearly four nights with the humidifier for $499, and it doubles as a UPS: leave the CPAP plugged into it at home and you won't wake up when the power goes. 25 lb, 5-year warranty, and fast solar charging if the outage drags on.

  • CPAP with humidifier: 3.8 nights
  • Without humidifier: NaN nights

Best for travel and camping

Bluetti Elite 30 V2

Under 10 lb and rated under 30 dB, quiet enough for a tent or a bedside table. One night with the humidifier, nearly three without.

  • CPAP with humidifier: 1 nights
  • Without humidifier: NaN nights

A CPAP-only kit

Bluetti X60 CPAP Power Bank

Comes with seven CPAP cables and runs your machine on DC, skipping inverter losses. Be honest with yourself, though: at the same $499 the Elite 100 V2 holds more, has regular outlets and a 5-year warranty against the X60's 1 year. Buy the X60 only if you want the simplest CPAP-only box.

  • CPAP with humidifier: 2.3 nights
  • 15 lb

Myths, answered

"You need a huge, expensive battery for a CPAP." No. A CPAP is one of the lightest loads in the house: about 28 W with the humidifier, less than a single old light bulb. A $289.99 battery covers a night; $499 covers a long weekend.
"A car battery or a cheap jump starter will do."Risky. A car battery isn't built to be run flat night after night, and jump starters hold little energy. The stations here use LFP cells rated for thousands of full cycles.
"Power stations are a fire risk in the bedroom." Every model here uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP), the most heat-stable lithium chemistry, with a built-in management system. Keep it ventilated and off the carpet, like any electrical device.

Frequently asked questions

How long will a power station run a CPAP?

Divide the station's watt-hours by your CPAP's watts times hours of sleep, then take off about 15% for losses. A ResMed AirSense 10 draws about 28 W with the heated humidifier on and function(){throw Error("Attempted to call CPAP_NO_HUMIDIFIER_W() from the server but CPAP_NO_HUMIDIFIER_W is on the client. It's not possible to invoke a client function from the server, it can only be rendered as a Component or passed to props of a Client Component.")} W without, per ResMed's battery guide. So a 1,024 Wh station like the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 runs it about 3.8 nights with the humidifier and NaN nights without, at 8 hours a night.

What is the best power station for a CPAP?

For most people the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 ($499 when we checked): about 3.8 nights with the humidifier, a 10 ms switchover so the CPAP keeps running if the power blinks, and enough left over for a phone and a lamp. For travel or one night, the Bluetti Elite 30 V2 ($289.99, 9.48 lb) gives about one night with the humidifier and NaN without.

Should I turn off the CPAP humidifier on battery?

If you can sleep comfortably without it, yes: it more than doubles your nights. ResMed's figures are about 28 W with the heated humidifier and function(){throw Error("Attempted to call CPAP_NO_HUMIDIFIER_W() from the server but CPAP_NO_HUMIDIFIER_W is on the client. It's not possible to invoke a client function from the server, it can only be rendered as a Component or passed to props of a Client Component.")} W without, so the same battery lasts about NaN times longer. Ask your doctor or equipment supplier if you rely on humidity.

Can I take a power station on a plane for my CPAP?

Not these. The FAA forbids lithium-ion batteries over 160 Wh in both carry-on and checked bags, and every station and pack here is larger. For flights, use your CPAP maker's own small battery or the airline's medical-device rules.

Do I need a pure sine wave inverter for a CPAP?

Every station on this page has a pure sine wave inverter, which is what CPAP makers recommend for their AC power supplies. You can also skip the inverter by running the CPAP from a DC cable, which wastes less power; the Bluetti X60 is built around DC outputs and comes with CPAP cables.

Can I leave my CPAP plugged into a power station every night?

Yes, that is the point of a UPS-style station: plug the station into the wall and the CPAP into the station. When the power cuts out, it takes over. Look for a stated switchover time; the Bluetti Elite 30 V2, Elite 100 V2 and EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus list 10 ms.

This is not medical advice. CPAP power draw depends on your machine, pressure, humidifier and tubing settings; check your machine's manual or ask your equipment supplier. Prices and specifications are copied from makers' US websites on the dates shown and change often. See our disclaimer.
