I am not an expert in the field (I actually know very little – I know how to connect a plug). I have sleep apnoea and have to sleep with a CPAP (Continuous Pressurised Air Pump) machine. My problem is I cannot go on holiday to places where there is no electricity available (and that is the places I would like to go to). Can anyone suggest an “affordable” solution to this for me?
I want to be able to charge the device using either Solar or from my car cigarette lighter socket.
The following is the information I find on the documentation of the CPAP machine I am using with respect to electricity usage
(Please note I do not have the 12V DC adapter and I am not sure if it is available in South Africa)
Electrical Rating 115 V – 230V AC +10/-15%, 50-60 Hz with power supply unit WM 24480 or
12V – 24V DC +25/-15% with DC adapter WM 24469
Power consumption in operation at:
230V 0.1A 0.23A
115V 0.2A 0.45A
24V 0.9A 2.0A
12V 1.8A Without Humidifier 4.0A With Humidifier
Power consumption on standby at:
230V 0.02A
115V 0.04A
24V 0.2A
12V 0.4A
Please ask if you need more information
