After reading the article in the link, I would say no to your question. http://www.healthyresources.com/sleep/magazines/psnews/power03.html

Many CPAPs run on 12 volts dc. They will run from 12v battery through suitable connector.From my experience, a 35 amp-hour battery will serve for several days, not using a humidifier.Its doubtful this unit has enough storage, but you would need to know specifics on your CPAPpower consumption.

I have no knowledge of the needs associated with CPAP. I'm guessing your physician has advised you about the need for continuous hydration. I assume you are talking about the placement of two tabs in the the mouth before bed time in such a way as to prevent their quickly dissolving, as the directions instruct. Those tabs could last hours, depending on other factors.

I would purchase an extra filter and cleaner. Also make sure you have a good surge protected power bar as you would be keeping the SoClean next to your cpap machine.

Yes, it has overcharge protection when using AC. You can also recharge the unit using a DC to DC plug, which comes with the unit. However, that does NOT have overcharge protection. I love this thing, I bought it for camping with my CPAP device. When using DC, I can sleep 7-9 nights (approx 67 hrs) before needing a recharge. When using the inverter and AC, I got 4 nights (28 hrs) use of my CPAP. Really handy to have along on a camp out, especially since someone always needs a jump at the end.

I'm really sorry - I don't know. I don't see why not - but I would always ask a doctor. This spray works for me personally, and it works with my mother, who has a CPAP - but I can't make any judgments for you. Ask your doctor - and good luck!

Yes, but it doesn't have a easy off switch, so use the power supply jack as a switch to limit it to of two hours of use.

This machine is great...I have not used it to run my cpap yet, but I Dont see why it can't. I plugged a serge proector to it and ran a lamp most of the night. I have watched a 50" TV with it. I have even used a induction cook top with it. I love it, I keep it charged and ready at all times.

I assume you want to use this timer to turn on and off the power to the transformer? If so, I don't see why this timer wouldn't work for that - go for it!

The 450 watt inverter will easily handle the CPAP, which average about 40 watts. The battery should last the night, if nothing else is drawing off of it. The question is, how will you charge it the next day? Will you have a source of 120VAC? If, while camping, you run a generator during the day, that would do it. Shut down the generator at night, so people can sleep, and use this little guy to power the CPAP. That would be ideal!

You can keep the oxygen machine hooked up but just make sure that the oxygen machine is off. If the oxygen was on it could dilute the ozone cleaning the cpap machine.

I would Google the owners manual and read what it will run. I have no idea what a CPAP pulls and would really hate to be wrong. Good luck.

In theory it can be used for whatever. I used it for one night to run a CPAP machine, but then it broke. I wouldn't recommend it.

If your using a CPAP machine cant you just plug it into the wall? I guess if your using it in a car it would work just make sure that the inverter does not over heat.

Not sure. I used it for my cpap machine for almost 6 months when we were dry camping in AZ . I have used it to run my printer and my stereo. Your hair dryer may use a lot more watts than the inverter puts out. Hope this helps.

Hello, A C-pap machine is used to help you breath while you sleep. To operate it remotely, as in overnight camping or similar activity, you would want to figure out an average 8 hour night's sleep power requirement for the C-pap machine. In this example, IF your C-papa machine operates at 100 watts, the EL2601 inverter would be more than ample. The battery that you would want to have already, fully charged, would be a large deep cycle battery. Double check the exact power requirements from the manufacturer's contact section of their business.

I used this in a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for a computer. They battery is rarely activated, and the last one I got lasted over 5 years. I would check the VA and make sure its compatible with the equipment you are planning to use it with.

I used it to power an access point for 6+ hours throughout the day. It really depends on what size radio you have (a large boom box, probably will not work; again depends on how many watts). This is 90 watts and I have used it for several items; My laptop I was only able to use for 30-45 mins; but was able to get some charge on it.
