Q:Will this run my C_PAP MACHINE ???
by|Nov 27, 2023
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  This is a misleading answer. Assuming your CPAP draws 100 watts for 7 hours of sleep, that’s a requirement for 700 total watts. These batteries are in the range of 60-100 watts TOTAL.

      Q:What would be awesome if this could be used to charge the 18V battery from your car/truck. Hopefully they will add something that could do that. They already have a 12V cable for the tire inflator, so they have the 12 V to 18 V down.

        A:  Remember, this device is nowhere near 100% efficient - maybe 80% at best. So multiply expectations by 0.8

          A:  Hello, John - Thank you for your question. If the lamp is rated at 60W truly, then the runtime from a 2ah battery would be around 30mins of runtime. I hope this helps!

            A:  Depends on the size of battery, but a 2Ah battery should be able to power 60w for about 30 minutes 4ah would be an hour and 6ah would be about an hour and a half.

                            A:  You won't get more than about 30 minutes on a 2ah battery, if that. To run a CPAP properly, you need between 45 and 60 amps for roughly 8 hours of sleep. A 2ah battery doesn't even come close.
