Hello everyone. I would like your advice as I have now learned my lesson. I did my research and on paper what should have worked did not work in reality. I use a CPAP machine every night. A main goal in purchasing a portable solar generator was for powering the cpap in a tent camping or power outage situation. I bought a Rockpals 300 and guess what, the 12 volt DC circuit goes in to protection mode and will not run the cpap at all. The specs say it will but reality says different. My NAPA Carlyle automotive jump starter box will run the cpap, but that has an AGM battery in it and is made for high current draw to start a car. The 12 volt port inside it is unregulated and simply connected directly to the AGM battery and is live all the time. I am working with Rockpals to return the 300 solar generator.
I would like your advice please. I can use the online chart from ResMed to get a ball park draw figure for DC and I can use my Kilowatt to get a figure for AC. I have been bitten by the poor quality control bug of the low quality market. Which brans make high quality products that you can depend on? Which brands have high quality control? I understand I may pay more, but I would rather pay a few dollars more for high quality than to deal with “I hope this will work” again. Thank you for your help.
