Hello, Steve and welcome. I am just getting to grips with using batteries, so will be interested in what others have to say, too. I have just had to buy a battery so that I could use my machine on a plane ( see other post) - airlines have restrictions on type, size etc - so beware if you want battery you get to be useful for that purpose as well. I did notice when looking for mine that there were batteries available that were suitable for camping , supposedly giving several days of power, but these didn't meet the airlines criteria.

Steve, I don't go caravaning but a friend who also has sleep apnea does a lot of camping and takes his with him. he is well organised and has a portable generator and also uses inversion, not exactly sure what it is. He said he gets a full weekends use of his CPAP without having to recharge.

hi all,be very carefull with batteries,i go camping often but blew up not one but two cpaps machines,(hospital not amused) because you are supost to use a speicial addapter at a cost of £55 (hospital wont pay) i connected a cig lighter 12v to the 12v supply plug at the back and that blew them.they were connected correctly pos centre neg outside,i didnt reverse the wires as the hospital were not happy with me,so now i have a 300w inverter and connect that to the 12v.hope this helps.muz

Cheers

CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More

It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
