Most of major CPAP manufacturers offer some sort of portable battery supply for use with their equipment, but often they are expensive and generally supply power for brief periods of use (usually on the order of hours). One trick I have seen used in the Missionary field and in other situations where users will be off grid for extended periods of time includes a deep cycle battery and an appropriate “clip on” inverter. CPAP run time is usually measured in days and the only down side being bulk. In fact, I’ve seen that set up in a number of brick and mortar homes that are subject to frequent power outages or are remote from the local utility providers and whose electrical service is slow to be restored after outages.
