In this article, you’ll learn about your CPAP power supply and some of the most recommended equipment options. You may wish to begin by watching this short introduction to CPAP power:
Here are seven top pieces of CPAP power supply equipment you should know about.
The Zopec Voyage is a universal battery, meaning that it is compatible with any CPAP unit, including travel and home units – without the need for an adapter or converter.
It offers a long-lasting power supply, smart USB-C fast charging speed, and a variety of ports for easy connectivity. This battery will last you 9-12 hours, depending on the air pressure (only 2 hours of use with a heated humidifier is you happen to use it to power your home unit).
Zopec Voyage is FAA-compliant for air travel and compact at 7″ x 5″ x 1.5″.
These machines are light as they only weigh 1.3 LBS.
Chances are if you are going for an overnight trip – no matter what CPAP machine you have – the Pilot 24 or 12 will suit your needs. These versatile batteries are handy and can also be used as a backup in case of an emergency.
They will only power your machine for one night, but we recommend them for long flights or power emergencies.

The Zopec Explore is an extremely powerful battery unit that powers virtually any medical or electronic device, including your:
- Home or Travel CPAP
- Oxygen Concentrator
- Laptop
- Phone
Plug this unit into your wall outlet, plug your CPAP into the unit, and sleep tight, because the battery will keep your CPAP machine in continuous operation in case of a power outage.
It can remain plugged in 24/7 without damage to battery life because it uses a wall power pass-through. The same brand as Tesla uses, it provides you with:
- up to 12 hours while running a humidifier and heated tubing
- up to 24 hours with a humidifier but no heated tubing
- up to 64 hours without a humidifier or heated tubing
Please note that individual power duration may vary and should be tested with each device.
The dual attachment makes this cable adjustable to your personal travel situation.
If you are on a road trip, this DC converter may be for you. It will only work with the 10 series of ResMed Machines, so this may be a drawback for some CPAP users.
That said, this DC converter can fit into a traditional car port or, with its alligator clips, can attach to any car battery. Campers and road warriors take note, this is a handy device to have at your disposal.
The Transcend, with its multiple battery options, is an excellent choice for frequent hikers or campers. Not only does it weigh only a pound but so does each battery option!
The Transcend units have an overnight battery option, a multi-night battery option, and even a solar panel battery charger option. However, it is recommended to only use the Solar Panel with an Overnight Battery to avoid having no charge.
The DreamStation Go is an excellent machine on its own. However, when paired with its overnight battery, it is amazing! The DreamStation Go is more suited for hotel hoppers rather than caravanning campers.
However, it can be used in any terrain or travel excursion. The overnight battery will last 13 hours for most users, but even on high pressures will not last less than 8 hours.
Most modern CPAP machines now can convert power automatically when outside of the United States. That said, they still require plug adapters to be able to be connected to international outlets.
That’s where this handy Plug Adapter comes in! Small and compact, this is able to be carried on any adventure abroad.
