Best portable power station for a CPAP: BLUETTI AC180 for one night, Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus for three
We size on the humidifier-on case: a CPAP with its heated humidifier and tube draws 30 to 100 watts, and the BLUETTI AC180 covers one night even at the top of that range.
With the humidifier off it lasts far longer: ResMed puts the AirSense 10 at 7 watts with the humidifier off, about 6.4 nights on the BLUETTI AC180. Buy the BLUETTI AC180 ($499 at Amazon). Three nights if your machine is efficient: the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 ($999).

A CPAP is a small, steady load. The heated humidifier decides how long a battery lasts, so we size on it being on and show how much longer each pick lasts with it off.
| Model | Usable | Output | Typical day | Per usable kWh | Price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Our pick for one night |  BLUETTI AC180 | 974 Wh | 1,800 W | one charge | $512 | $499 at Amazon |

How much battery you need
Nothing in this plan kicks in and out. A CPAP draws 30 to 100 watts and holds there, so the starting figure and the running figure are the same and there is no surge to size for. Over an 8-hour night that comes to 240 to 800 watt-hours, and the whole decision is which end of that range you sit at.
Adjust this plan to your house. Change the hours or the loads and the picks are re-scored here, with the same planner and the same maker figures.
Where the energy goes, load by load
| Load | Hours | Running watts | share of time running | Energy | Share of worst case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPAP | 8 | 30–100 | 100% | 240–800 Wh | 100% |
Energy = running watts × share of time running × hours, at each end of the range. The right-hand end of every row is what the plan is sized on.
One 8-hour night on a CPAP, run against all 82 units we track: 59 clear at least the best case, 19 do not, and 4 could not be judged (a missing maker figure or an unclear recall status). Every figure is from the maker’s own page or manual; nothing here was tested by us. The method.

How long will a Jackery 1000 run a CPAP?
On one charge, the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 (887 usable watt-hours) runs a CPAP about 8.1 hours at 100 watts and about 20 hours at 30 watts. That is 1.0 to 2.5 nights of 8 hours with the heated humidifier on. With it off, an AirSense 10 at 7 watts runs about 5.0 nights on it.

One night, the lowest price
$499 at Amazon, November 1, 20261,152 Wh (974 usable)1,800 W continuous2,700 W peak35 lb
The BLUETTI AC180 covers one 8-hour night on a CPAP at the top of the humidifier-on range, the lowest-priced way to do that. Three nights out it covers only the bottom of the range, and it takes no true extra battery.
How we picked it: the cheapest unit that covers a typical day of this plan (440 Wh).

One 8-hour night on a CPAP:

What you give up: Capacity. It has no true expansion port, so the day one night stops being enough you are shopping again rather than adding to what you own.

Day two and three
Three nights is 720 to 2,400 watt-hours, three times what a single night takes. If the grid comes back between outages, a wall top-up settles the whole question and no panel is needed.
Hooking it up safely
Plug the machine into the station’s AC outlet, or use the maker’s DC cable if your machine has one; DC skips the inverter and its losses. Turn the humidifier and heated tube off unless you need them, because they are most of the draw.
This page sizes equipment. It does not certify therapy. Your machine’s maker publishes its own battery guidance; your equipment supplier is the person to ask. What to check in the manual before you rely on a unit at night.
Buying it right
A search for these models returns bundles, sibling models and the same unit under two prices. We link only a listing whose own title states the unit on its own with its exact battery and output. Match the model number on the label to this page. How we check a listing.
- BLUETTI AC180: we link the model on its own, checked November 1, 2026. We turned down 13 other listings (bundles, sibling models, repeats); see which and why.
- Jackery Explorer 2000 v2: we link the model on its own, checked November 1, 2026. We turned down 7 other listings (bundles, sibling models, repeats); see which and why.
What this page can’t promise
This page sizes equipment. It cannot promise therapy: it does not know your machine, your pressure, your settings or how your outage will go, and a battery built and sold by your CPAP's own supplier is the reference point for keeping therapy going, not a general-purpose station. Ask that supplier before you rely on any of these overnight.

Questions people ask
How long will a Jackery 1000 run a CPAP?
The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 holds 887 usable watt-hours. With the humidifier and heated tube on, that runs a CPAP about 8.1 hours at 100 watts and about 20 hours at 30 watts: 1.0 to 2.5 nights of eight. With the humidifier off, an AirSense 10 at 7 watts runs about 5.0 nights on it.
How much power does a ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 use?
ResMed's power sheet puts the AirSense 10 at a few watts with the humidifier off and several times that with the humidifier and heated tube on. For the AirSense 11 it gives only a typical and a peak figure. The machine table here shows each one, sourced, with nights per pick.
Will a power station really keep my CPAP running all night?
It sizes to your CPAP's power draw; it does not certify an outcome for your exact machine, your settings, or the way your outage happens. Two things decide it in practice: whether you run the heated humidifier, and whether the station's low-load shutoff is switched off before you sleep. Check both against your machine's own power supply rating, and ask your equipment supplier before you rely on one overnight.
