The Portable Outlet PO-160UPSv2 is a universal backup battery for CPAP and BiPAP machines that works without any proprietary cables or adapters. Simply plug the Portable Outlet into a wall socket, then plug your CPAP or BiPAP directly into the battery — if the power goes out, it switches on automatically and your therapy continues without interruption.
This is a strong choice if you want a true plug-and-play UPS-style backup that works with any CPAP or BiPAP brand without hunting down a specific cable for your machine — unlike some other battery systems on the market that require a matched cable per machine model. It's equally useful as a home power-outage backup and as a travel power source.
Because it works as a standard AC outlet rather than requiring a machine-specific DC cable, this battery works with essentially any CPAP or BiPAP you plug into it. That's a meaningful difference from cable-based battery systems, where buying the wrong cable for your exact machine model is a common, frustrating mistake.
You don't have to do anything when the power goes out — the PO-160UPSv2 detects the outage and switches to battery power automatically, keeping your therapy running without a gap.
Because travel CPAP machines typically draw less power than full-size home units, pairing this battery with a travel CPAP generally gets you around 50% more runtime than you'd see powering a standard CPAP — worth knowing if you're deciding between machines to pair with this specific battery for maximum time between charges.
The PO-160UPSv2 meets TSA and FAA requirements for air travel. As with any lithium battery, it's still worth checking your specific airline's carry-on policy for medical equipment before you fly.
On average, CPAPs run for about 8 to 10 hours on this battery, while BiPAPs run for approximately 7 to 9 hours, using average pressure, standard tubing, and passover humidification settings. Runtime drops noticeably if you use a heated tube or high humidifier setting — if you need to stretch a single charge further, lowering your humidifier setting and turning off heated tubing are the most effective adjustments. Adding a second battery is also an option if you want to double your runtime or keep heated features running overnight.
