Model-Specific Results

3 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet (104W surge).

Model Running Surge Verdict Runtime Source
ResMed AirSense 11 AutoSet 56.1W 73.2W Safe ~76.7h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 56.1 W typical. **Surge:** 73.2 W peak. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. The machine draws continuous low power with minimal startup spike. Most portable power stations with 120V inverters and 100+ W output handle this load comfortably.

Field note: Verify your power station provides stable 120V AC output and at least 75W continuous rating. Disable the heated humidifier to reduce draw by ~30% and extend runtime. Always carry a backup power source for life-critical equipment.

Can I run the AirSense 11 on a 500Wh power station?

Yes โ€” at 56.1W typical, a 500Wh station (350Wh usable) provides roughly 6 hours. Disabling the humidifier drops draw to ~40W and extends runtime to a full night.

ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet 53W 104W Safe ~81.1h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 53 W typical. **Surge:** 104 W peak. **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. The AirSense 10 has a higher peak draw than the newer AirSense 11 due to its older motor design.

Field note: The 104W peak is the sizing constraint. Ensure your power station can handle at least 120W continuous to cover the startup surge with margin. Use a pure sine wave inverter โ€” modified sine wave may cause motor faults in medical devices.

Can I use a portable power station rated for 100W continuous?

Risky โ€” the AirSense 10 peaks at 104W. A station rated at exactly 100W may trip on startup. Look for 150W+ continuous rating to be safe.

Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle Auto 39W 76W Safe ~110.3h Engineering Est.
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 39 W typical. **Surge:** 76 W peak. **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. The SleepStyle has an integrated power supply (no external brick) and built-in heated humidifier. The 39W figure includes the humidifier at typical settings.

Field note: The SleepStyle is the most power-efficient full-size CPAP here. At 39W typical, even a compact 500Wh power station covers a full night with margin. The integrated humidifier means no separate heater to add to the load.

Is the Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle easier to run off-grid than ResMed?

Yes โ€” at 39W typical vs 53-56W for ResMed models, the SleepStyle draws roughly 30% less power. An 8-hour night consumes ~312 Wh vs 424-449 Wh for ResMed.

Generator Insights

With 24,000W surge capacity, this system can handle typical compressor startup events found in central air conditioners, well pumps, and refrigeration equipment. The 12,000W continuous rating supports sustained high-load operation across multiple circuits. At 6,144Wh usable capacity, runtime depends on connected load, but this configuration can support whole-home essentials during extended outages.

This unit uses LFP chemistry, a formulation widely recognized for thermal stability in residential backup applications. The manufacturer provides operational guidelines in their documentation, and users should follow all installation and grounding instructions.

Technical Analysis

Spec-Based โ€ข No Guarantees

Technical Breakdown

Running range: 39W (F&P SleepStyle) to 56.1W (ResMed AirSense 11) typical. Peak surge: 104W (ResMed AirSense 10 startup). Voltage: 120V AC. CPAP machines are low-draw medical devices โ€” the startup surge is the sizing constraint, not the running watts.

Expected Behavior

Estimated runtime: ~76.7h. An 8-hour sleep session consumes 312-449 Wh depending on model, pressure settings, and humidifier use. Load is steady after initial pressurization with minor fluctuations during the breath cycle.

Field Note

Use a pure sine wave power station โ€” modified sine wave inverters may cause motor faults in medical devices. Disable the heated humidifier to reduce draw by ~30% and extend runtime. Always carry a backup power source for life-critical equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra X power a CPAP Machine?

Yes. The EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra X provides 12000W running / 24000W surge. The CPAP Machine needs 65W / 120W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 11935W of running headroom and 23880W of surge margin.

How long will the Delta Pro Ultra X run a CPAP Machine?

Approximately 76.7 hours, based on the CPAP Machine's 56W draw and the Delta Pro Ultra X's 6144Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).

What Else Can You Run?

With 1960W allocated to the CPAP Machine, the Delta Pro Ultra X still has ~7584W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
