What to Know About the Portable Oxygen Concentrator
Power Profile
Running range: 150W (portable SimplyGo) to 350W (stationary EverFlo). Surge: modeled equal to running — no OEM startup current published for any oxygen concentrator in this class. Voltage: 120V AC.
Real-World Usage
Stationary concentrators operate 24 hours daily at constant draw, consuming 7,440-8,400 Wh per day. Portable units draw less but still require continuous power for uninterrupted oxygen delivery.
Pro Tip
Oxygen concentrators are life-critical — always have a backup power source. Use pure sine wave output only. Verify pass-through charging capability so the power station stays charged while the concentrator runs on mains power.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many power stations can run a Portable Oxygen Concentrator?
Out of 33 portable power stations we tested, 29 can safely run a Portable Oxygen Concentrator (29 with full safety margin, 0 at tight margin). 4 are incompatible.
What specs should I look for to run a Portable Oxygen Concentrator?
Your power station needs at least 350W continuous output and 350W surge capacity. We recommend a safety buffer of 15% above these minimums for reliable operation.
How do we test compatibility?
Every pairing is evaluated using our True Surge protocol: we compare OEM-verified running watts, surge watts, and voltage requirements against each power station's published specs, with load-profile-specific safety buffers applied. Read our full methodology.
What size power station do I need for an oxygen concentrator?
Only if your power source can supply at least 350W continuous and 350W surge at 120V. A stationary unit needs 8,400 Wh per day — most portable power stations cannot sustain this without solar recharging.
