I have sleep apnea. I have been on trips using a marine battery with my CPAP. The CPAP I have can use either AC or DC current. For camping I bought an attachment that will allow me to use either the outlet in a car or connect the CPAP to a battery using terminal clamps. A battery would usually last me about 5 nights; I do not remember the amps of the battery I was using. On two 10 day trips in Belize were traveling out of a base camp that allowed me to use solar and wind power to recharge the battery. The manufacturer of my CPAP, Medtronics, has all the attachments available to use it this way. I am sure someone could rig these connectors together, just make sure it is fused. The newsgroups on apnea and on telescopes, we need batterys there also, have all kinds of suggestions for using batteries in the field to power gagets. The important part is to have a small CPAP with a DC connection.
