I am on a c-pap machine will it run 8 hours without running the battery dead in the truck

You'd have to figure out the current draw of your particular model. The inverter size only accounts for how many watts you can pull at once. High wattage items require bigger inverters (the fridge, heaters, microwaves) but these items will also drain a battery fast. A baby inverter might run a cell phone charger and some LED lights for a long time but these are low wattage (low power demand) items...The items demand and the battery capacity determine run time. Do the math and check this out.... http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t4590/12v-DC-current-draw-for-REMStar-Auto.html Also....for insurance, some of us off road types run two deep cycle batteries...insurance for failure and also double the capacity for trail tools and welders.

It depends on how much power your device uses and how big battery is..Inverter will run at over 90% efficiency so is up to power usage and available power from battery. I think I would recommend a second battery to support your need. That way if it does run down you still have truck battery to start truck and as backup.

It will depend on the power consumption of your c-pap machine and the amp/hrs of your battery. Most c-pap machines have a low power consumption based on our research, so it should run from a 12 volt vehicle battery for the required duration.

Dale - I believe that will be a function of the amount of current your c-pap machine uses and also the amp capacity of your battery. Look at the specs on the Power Bright and see what current it draws and add the current your c-pap uses. Knowing that and your battery capacity, you should be able to calculate the number of hours it will run. If I were you, I would put another battery in parallel with your present battery in your truck for this c-pap itself.

no it will not drain your battery, my has been plugged in the truck and stays there, i drive this truck maybe once a week, never any problems

I'm not sure because we didn't let it run until the battery was dead. We used it most of the day while we rode the 4-wheelers, early morning to supper time, 8 hours or so. Then we plugged it in to charge over night for the next day.

I use this thing to start my Cummins motors in my concrete trucks and off road fork lifts. If the trucks block heaters are not plugged in and it's really close to zero it won't start them. If the batteries on the truck are dead and the block is warm it absolutely starts them up. I would believe it would start a pickup truck motor from cold with a dead batteries.

I've run mine for over 2 hours but never until the battery ran out. I hope that helps.

This depends on how large your battery is, it draws under 1 amp, so if you have a 100 ah battery it will run for 100 hours.

It depends on what battery you are using and what level of the three you are running. At the training level, figure about a half hour to 45 minutes. That's what my 11 year old son averaged with the battery that came with the truck.

We installed in a Fire Dept Truck with an A/C Auto Ejector that could run it while plugged in or off the battery while it was running. It will kill the batter quick if not being recharged.

It runs on the DC power of your vehicle's batteery . No additional battery required.

Hi, The average running time is 3 amps per hour. I do not know if it will run all night on your car battery because I do not know the amp hours and condition of it, however your marine battery would run it for approximately 30 hours before it would have to be recharged. Joe

mah number is the power the higher the number the more power..... life is always gonna be the same.... battery should last about 30min depending on terrain.... if u want speed its best to go lipo but would have to change stuff on truck to run lipo...

Not unless you are an electrician and know how to wire a battery pack big enough to run it li j ely a deep cycle truck or marine battery. Since you asked I will assume you are not an electrician. So no.

According to one of the techs at the clinic, it should, but it depends on the demands of your c-pap machine. I don't know for how long, either. I was just concerned with short term lengths for power outages.

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.

It would run it for about 18 minutes if fully charged. The inverter has the power and if you have enough battery it will run fine.

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 am not sure of how much current. I have mine plugged into cigerret lighter in my 18 wheeler.It does not drain batteries when truck not running overnight. I have mine running at 0 degress. It is worth the money..
