There is some good information about battery backups for CPAP machines available at the following link: www.winternet.com/~mbiegert/apnea.htm#Mobile

I didn't look at it very closely tonight, but I believe it is for any model of CPAP. It also appears to have new information since I last looked at it about machines coming out with that option alreay built in.

I also wondered about this for myself as I was without power for 4 days last winter in a severe Ice Storm. Fortuantely emergency shelters were set up so I had power, but I would have rather stayed at home.

I use a power wheelchair, but it has 2-12 volt batteries linked together and I think it would be too difficult to separate the 2 so as not to put to much charge through. Besides, depending on how long the batteries will last, it may leave me rather stranded - not the best idea .
