Looking for comments regarding problems or issues and comments in general on my cpap backup.
I’m “building” a battery backup for my cpap. I have two purposes at this point. 1) to have it available and, 2) to get actual power requirements with just the cpap, cpap+heated humidifier and cpap+heated humidifier+heated hose. Right now it’s pretty basic. Battery, shunt and battery monitor.
My cpap is a Philips Respironics DreamStation. The 110V power adapter is rated at input 2.0-1.0 amp. Output 12V - 6.67 Amp. On the bottom of the cpap itself it says 12V - 6.67 Amps. I have the Shielded 12V DC power cord for the DreamStation.
Also, the DC power cord has an 8 amp fuse. Do I need additional fuses/circuit breakers? One just before or after the shunt?
I queried cpap and didn’t run across my questions.
Thank you,
Mark
