...Sounds like an interesting spot to anchor. Enjoy.<br /><br />Like you, SWMBO and I both rely on CPAP machines to make it through the night. From failed warranty discussions with several providers, it appears no manufacturer will warranty a unit if relied upon to supply CPAPs due to the extreme variation in the load between inhalations and exhalations (as much as a 20 amp load range, despite background draw by the humidifier). With the constant cycling, the inverter bellies up in no time. Best we've found is to use twice the capacity needed for adequate reserve (750 where ordinary loads will let you get by with 400 amps, for instance).Direct battery connection with greater than adequate cables -- all but the cheapest units will artificially limit a cigar lighter connection to a 10 amp draw. Daily mechanical recharging via generator-driven 40 amp charger as we watch the boob tube in the evening. And still we anticipate replacing inverters on an annual basis. Next time we replace a CPAP it will be a 12 volt direct unit. Beware Respironics and others wanting 19.4 volts...Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834993203690623780noreply@blogger.com
