Most CPAP users consider buying a portable power station for emergencies and outdoor activities. CPAP users need to know how long the portable power station can power a CPAP machine so they can know how much capacity of power station they need or how to plan their outdoor activities.

Determine Power Consumption Of CPAP Machine

The power consumption of your CPAP machine is measured in watts (W). You can find this rating on the appliance or in the user manual. This rating indicates the amount of power the CPAP machine consumes while in use. For example, if your CPAP machine has a power rating of 60 watts, it will consume 60 watts of power per hour.

Calculate The Desired Runtime

After you determine the power consumption for your CPAP machine, just use the formula below and you will know how long the portable power station can power your CPAP machine.

• Working Time of Appliance = Capacity of Portable Power Station (Wh) × 0.85 / Power Consumption of CPAP machine (W)

For instance, you have an AFERIY P210 portable power Station (2048Wh), and the power consumption of your CPAP machine is 60W. Then use this formula:

• Working Time of Appliance = Capacity of Portable Power Station (Wh) × 0.85 / Power Consumption of CPAP machine (W) = 2048Wh x 0.85 / 60W = 29 Hours

This means AFERIY P210 will provide continuous power to your CPAP machine for 29 hours. But you should consider more if you plan to power multiple appliances and devices, such as a fan (50W), a laptop (90W), and an LED light (10W). Use this formula as well:

• Working Time of Appliances = Capacity of Portable Power Station (Wh) × 0.85 / Sum of Power Consumption of All Appliances (W) = 2048Wh x 0.85 / (60W + 50W + 90W + 10W) = 8 Hours

From this formula, the AFERIY P210 can continuously power a CPAP machine, a fan, a laptop, and an LED light for 8 hours.
