On a full charge, with no other loads. A cpap machine uses 0.3–0.7 kWh a day and draws 30–60 W, up to ~90 W with a heated humidifier; about 85% of the battery reaches the outlet after the inverter's losses. Small and steady. Turning off the heated humidifier roughly halves its use.
Tip: Many CPAPs run more efficiently from a DC cable than through the power station's outlet.
