Runtime = capacity (Wh) × 0.85 ÷ 40 W
For 3 nights you need about 1,130 Wh (960 Wh of energy plus inverter losses). Running other devices at the same time? Add them in the runtime calculator.
Tips to run your CPAP machine longer
- Use the CPAP's 12 V DC adapter instead of the AC outlet to gain 10–20% runtime.
- Turning off the heated humidifier more than doubles runtime.
- Check your machine's actual draw; many modern units (ResMed AirSense 11, etc.) average 30–60 W without humidifier.
