   You'll need a backup that supports the DC output voltage of your CPAP.   
   Longevity depends on your CPAP pressure, humidifier settings and hours   
   used. Both Amazon ads have charts estimating CPAP longevity for the backup.   
      
   Maxoak CPAP backup/$298/Amazon - 297 watt-hours, cannot handle

   Anker PowerHouse 767 backup/$2000/Amazon - 2048 watt-hours, can handle   
   refrigerator power usage for multiple days - https://is.gd/xr48KE
