Sleep shouldn’t depend on the nearest outlet. The Zopec Explore battery family brings true online UPS protection to CPAP with models sized for everything from red-eye flights to multi-day outages. Plug in 24/7 and if utility power drops, AutoSwitch keeps therapy running without a blip. Pick your capacity by how you use comfort features: Silver level for CPAP-only, Gold for humidifier use, and Platinum for humidifier + heated tube.

Every model delivers pure-sine AC and universal compatibility—just plug in like a wall outlet. Lighter, FAA-friendly options (4000/5500/5700) suit travel, while high-capacity units (8000/Oxygen) anchor home backup. For the longest nights away, reduce humidity/heat and confirm your personal runtime at home before you go.

Pick the model that fits your trip length and comfort features. All Zopec Explore batteries include built-in UPS (AutoSwitch) so therapy continues through outages.

  • Explore 5700 — 160 Wh, 1 AC outlet, Silver UPS level; FAA carry-on OK. CPAP no humidifier: \~16–24 hrs; with humidifier (no heated tube) at lower pressures: \~7–8 hrs.

Sleep through outages

Plug the battery into the wall and your CPAP into the battery—if power drops, AutoSwitch transfers to battery in a fraction of a second so therapy isn’t interrupted. Zopec’s online/double-conversion UPS design and pass-through power let you leave it plugged in 24/7 without wearing the cells. Pure-sine AC keeps older PAPs and sensitive devices happy.

  • UPS AutoSwitch with wall-power pass-through.
  • Pure-sine 110V AC output; plug in like a wall outlet—no brand-specific DC cords.
  • Multi-device charging via USB/USB-C (ports vary by model).

Plan your runtime

Real-world runtime depends on pressure, leaks, and comfort features. As a rule: humidifier cuts runtime \~50–60%; humidifier + heated tube cuts \~70–80%; BiPAP draws \~20% more than CPAP.

  • CPAP only (no humidifier/heated tube): 4000 \~12–16h; 5700/5500 \~16–24h; 8000 \~24–32h; Oxygen up to \~42–64h.
  • CPAP + humidifier (no heated tube): 5500 8+ hrs; 5700 \~7–8h at modest pressures; 8000 \~8–12h; Oxygen \~16–24h.
  • CPAP + humidifier + heated tube: Use Explore Oxygen for \~8–12h.
Get the most runtime

For longer nights, turn off the heated humidifier and heated tubing. BiPAP devices typically draw more power than CPAP, while most travel CPAPs use less. If you’re comparing capacities for off‑grid trips or outages, see our practical picks in the Best CPAP battery guide. Be sure to test your battery setup at home first to plan recharges accordingly for travel.

FAQs about the Zopec Explore CPAP Backup Battery with Online UPS

Can the Zopec Explore batteries be used as an automatic backup during a power outage?

Yes, all Zopec Explore batteries feature AutoSwitch technology, which allows them to function as an automatic backup power source. When plugged into a wall outlet, they will keep your CPAP machine running during a power outage by seamlessly switching to battery power without any interruption to your therapy.

Are the Zopec Explore batteries FAA approved for air travel?

The Zopec Explore Mini (97 Wh), Explore 4000 (120 Wh), and Explore 5500/5700 (160 Wh) models are FAA approved for air travel and can be carried in your carry-on luggage. However, the Explore 8000 (288 Wh) and Explore Oxygen (576 Wh) both exceed the FAA's maximum capacity limit of 160 Wh and cannot be taken on an airplane.

Is the Zopec Explore battery series compatible with all CPAP machines?

Yes, with the exception of the Zopec Explore Mini, Zopec Explore batteries are designed to be compatible with all CPAP, BiPAP, and ASV machines. They feature universal AC outlets and USB ports, making them versatile for powering various devices. They also use a pure sine wave power signal, making them safe to use even with older PAP devices.

How should I store and maintain a Zopec Explore battery for occasional use, such as camping?

For occasional use, like camping, it's best to fully charge the Zopec Explore battery every six months while not in use to prevent the battery from degrading over time. Store in a cool, dry area. Since Explore series batteries act as uninterruptible power supplies, it is also a good idea to connect your machine to the battery and plug the battery into your usual AC wall outlet. This way, the battery will always be charged when you need it AND it will automatically take over in the event of a power outage without interruptions to your therapy.
