Portable CPAP Batteries and Solar Chargers

CPAP batteries allow you to power your CPAP machine without a wall outlet, and some can be used as a battery backup in the event of a power failure. Avid campers and frequent travelers can benefit from bringing along a CPAP battery or two to make travel plans more versatile. Most CPAP batteries we carry are FAA compliant and can be used in-flight. They can power a travel CPAP for multiple nights and can even handle a full-sized unit for a night or two without humidification.

Helpful Tips On Portable CPAP Battery Packs

Whether you’re a frequent traveler or just want a backup battery for your home CPAP machine, CPAP batteries can help you take your therapy on the go and protect you in the event of a power outage. With options for AC, DC, and even solar charging, a CPAP backup battery can bring much-needed flexibility to your life.

Why Buy a CPAP Battery?

The best CPAP battery can power a CPAP machine for up to two nights, though you’ll most likely need to recharge after each use if you use a humidifier. Some CPAP batteries, such as the Universal Portable Outlet UPS, can be used as an uninterruptible power supply in case your power goes out in the middle of the night. With a battery backup, you won't have to worry about waking up due to your sleep apnea symptoms. As soon as you lose conventional power, your CPAP machine will seamlessly transfer to battery power. Neither your sleep nor your CPAP therapy will get interrupted.

Other battery options will require you to manually switch your power supply in the event of unexpected power loss. There are external CPAP machine batteries and internal options. We also carry CPAP batteries that will charge both your CPAP machine and your mobile phone or another personal device. You can even find extended-life batteries that will run your CPAP machine all night along with your heated humidifier and other accessory components. With CPAP batteries, you won’t need to worry that you’ll be without your sleep apnea therapy if you’re away from home or there’s a power outage. With the right portable CPAP battery, you won't have to pass on camping trips. CPAP batteries also allow you to take your machine with you when traveling overseas; just note that you’ll also need an outlet adapter when traveling to areas with different electrical outlet types. Best of all, most CPAP batteries are also FAA-approved for in-flight use.

Having a battery for CPAP machine continuity can also give you peace of mind during times of inclement weather. These accessories can be especially important to have on hand when power outages are likely. Whether winter snowstorms routinely cause power loss in your home or utility lines go down due to springtime winds, a CPAP battery will reliably keep your device powered up.

Types of CPAP Batteries for Sale

Most CPAP batteries are lithium-ion batteries. Some options can last for a full night’s sleep of 8 to 12 hours while others can power your CPAP machine for more than one night. When shopping for a battery for a CPAP machine, you can choose from:

  • Universal CPAP Batteries
  • Lithium-Ion Batteries With Included Solar Charging Stations
  • Extended-Life Batteries
  • Overnight Batteries for Uninterrupted Power Supply
  • Travel Batteries

Here are some batteries that work with specific machine brands: 

  • Z1 and Z2 PowerShell With Extended Life Battery: Ideal for camping or everyday battery backup needs, the Lithium-Ion Z1 and Z2 PowerShell With Extended Life Battery can power your CPAP equipment for up to nine hours even at the high-pressure setting of 20 cmH2O. It is also approved for in-flight use. 
  • ResMed Power Station II: When it comes to your ResMed machines, the ResMed Power Station II works with both the Power Station Battery Kit for the S9 as well as the Power Station II Battery Kit for the AirSense 10, AirStart 10, and AirCurve 10. With the additional Power Station II battery, you can use two batteries simultaneously to double your battery run time. The battery will automatically switch to the second battery without any additional work from you. You will need a machine-specific inverter for this battery.
  • Travel Battery Kit for Philips Respironics: For up to 14 hours of nightly run time, the Philips Respironics Travel Battery Kit works with certain Philips devices and is approved for in-flight use. 
  • BPS Freedom V2 Travel Battery: Compatible with the AirSense, DreamStation, AirMini, AirCurve, AirStart, and S9, the BPS Freedom V2 Travel Battery Kit is designed to power your equipment for one to three nights while also having the ability to charge your mobile devices thanks to the USB ports. It is FAA-approved.
  • Medistrom Battery and Backup Power Supply: Depending on your specific machine brand, Medistrom has a Pilot-12 Lite Battery and a Pilot-24 Lite Battery—take a look at each product page to determine which one is designed for your machine. The Pilot-12 can power your compatible device for up to 16 hours while the Pilot-24 can power for up to 10 hours. Both batteries are FAA-approved for in-flight use. 

Below are some recommendations that work with a variety of CPAP equipment brands.

  • EXP Pro Lithium-Ion Batteries: Both having up to 5,000 charging cycles, the EXP48 Pro Lithium-Ion Battery Bank and the EXP96 Pro Lithium-Ion Battery Bank allow you to bring your therapy wherever life takes you. Depending on how long your travels are, the EXP48 can charge your equipment for up to four nights and can be fully recharged in just four hours. The EXP96 can last up to six nights on a single charge and can be fully recharged in ten hours. The EXP48 is FAA-approved while the EXP96 is not. 
  • Power Outlet 2 Univeral CPAP Battery: Portable and ready to take on your next adventure, the Zopec Power Outlet 2 has the same powerful battery as a Tesla, which provides lightning-fast charging times (only four hours). The Zopec is only 2.15 pounds, making it easy to pack. 

How to Choose a CPAP Battery

When choosing a battery for your CPAP machine, you always want to make sure that it's compatible with your device. It's additionally important to verify that your new portable battery boasts the capabilities and features you need. For instance, if you intend to use your battery for travel, you should make sure that it's lightweight and has sufficient power for supporting your machine and all of your CPAP accessories throughout the entire night. If you intend to use your CPAP battery for continuous machine operation in the event of a power outage, look for an option suited for this purpose. Depending on the battery you choose, you may need an inverter or converter. Check your product specifications on CPAP.com to identify what additional accessories may be needed.

It is important to determine how long you will need your battery to last. If you are traveling for multiple nights away from a recharging power source, pick an option that can accommodate that need. Also keep in mind that if you need to use a humidifier, it will deplete the battery quicker.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Long Do CPAP Batteries Last?

    Depending on the battery type, CPAP batteries can last anywhere from one night of sleep—8 to 12 hours—to multi-nights of rest—up to 6 nights. 

  • How Do I Get Longer Runtimes?

    For longer battery runtimes, determine which additional accessories or comfort features are most important to your CPAP therapy experience. For instance, if you need to use a humidifier or heated tube, then that will deplete your CPAP battery quicker. 

    • Turning off your humidifier will increase your battery’s runtime. 
    • You can also stack more than one battery on your setup to get double the amount of runtime like with the ResMed Power Station II.
    • Use a Travel CPAP instead for more efficient energy consumption.
    • Use a Solar Charger if you're going off-grid.

  • What CPAP Batteries Are Good for Camping?

    The best CPAP batteries for camping range from the Zopec Power Outlet 2 or the Medistrom Pilot Series to the BPS Freedom or EXP Pro line, depending on your certain machine type. For overall off-the-grid camping capabilities, try the Zopec Power Outlet 2, which packs the power you need but is lightweight and designed for travel. Take a look at our camping with your CPAP guide to develop your perfect travel setup. If glamping is more your speed, read our guide on how to use your CPAP machine in your RV.

  • Why Should I Get An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Battery?

    If you live in an area prone to power outages, it's important to have a backup battery that can automatically switch on when you lose power. The portable outlet battery is a great UPS option to keep your CPAP therapy simple and uninterrupted.

  • How Do I Find Compatible CPAP Batteries?

    To find the CPAP battery that is compatible with your machine, check out our best CPAP battery power backup solutions guide. In this resource, you can locate your specific machine and the batteries that work best. You can also check out your machine or the battery’s product page on CPAP.com to see a list of what is compatible. Your manufacturer’s manual is also a helpful resource.

  • Are there battery powered CPAP machines?

    Currently, there are no CPAP machines that are purely battery operated. Unlike smartphones, all CPAP machines must be plugged into a power source like a wall outlet. If you are planning to go camping or flying, you can plug your power cord or applicable DC cord into a portable battery.

  • Are CPAP Batteries Covered by FSA?

    Yes, FSA will reimburse you for CPAP batteries.

  • Are CPAP batteries Covered By Insurance?

    In most cases, CPAP batteries are not covered by insurance since it is not viewed as a medical necessity. It is best to check with your insurance provider first before buying online. If you live in an area where power outages are frequent or seasonal, backup batteries could be an essential accessory to your CPAP therapy.

Surprising Battery Life

I am getting three full nights of sleep on a single charge of this battery. Amazing! It is easy to use with a simple design. It is designed to make use of the CPAP system's AC adapter instead of having one itself. It can also be used "in-line" with the larger system to effectively function as a battery backup so if your power goes out, you don't wake up being suffocated by your mask! It's expensive but worth it if you go weekend camping a lot!
