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 | ~25.6h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **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 — 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 | ~27.0h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **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 — modified sine wave may cause motor faults in medical devices. Can I use a portable power station rated for 100W continuous? Risky — 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 | ~36.8h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **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 — 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
The 4800 W surge can support typical startup loads for refrigerators, well pumps, and air compressor motors that require momentary inrush current. The 2048 Wh capacity provides extended runtime for moderate continuous loads. This configuration can handle brief motor starts while sustaining steady power delivery for home backup scenarios.
This unit uses LFP chemistry, which offers a different thermal profile than older lithium chemistries. The manufacturer provides operational guidelines in their documentation.

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical 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 — the startup surge is the sizing constraint, not the running watts.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~25.6h. 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 — 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 2 Max power a CPAP Machine?
Yes. The EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max provides 2400W running / 4800W surge. The CPAP Machine needs 65W / 120W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 2335W of running headroom and 4680W of surge margin.
How long will the DELTA 2 Max run a CPAP Machine?
Approximately 25.6 hours, based on the CPAP Machine's 56W draw and the DELTA 2 Max's 2048Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 1775W allocated to the CPAP Machine, the DELTA 2 Max still has ~89W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
