I'm planning a long "boondocking" camping trip and need a power source for my resmed machine. I have never taken this machine off the grid before.
I've been looking at portable power stations (not generators) and trying to balance cost with electrical storage capacity.
From what I read, my resmed machine, with its heated hose and humidifier, would consume about 60 watts which translates into needing at least 540 watt hours for a 9-hour span. The inverter will consume watts as well, so I have rounded up to needing 600 watt hours of power per night.
Has anyone else run the calculations and come up with about the same answer?
I'm seriously looking at a power station of about 800 watt hour capacity that can recharge every day in a reasonable amount of time. I'm going with a large buffer of power just to be safe.
Does anyone else have experience in how much storage capacity is needed in a power station for their machine?
I'm not an electrician, so I'd like to know I am calculating power requirements correctly.
