How we worked it out: 1,152 Wh × 0.85 ÷ 7 W = about 6 days (8 hours a night). The 0.85 covers inverter and battery losses. We do not test units ourselves; the numbers come from the official spec sheets and typical device draws. How we pick

Common questions

How many nights will the BLUETTI AC180 run a CPAP without a humidifier?
About 17 nights of 8 hours (140 hours in total). A CPAP without a humidifier averages about 7 W, and the 1,152 Wh battery gives about 979 Wh after inverter losses.
How long does it last with a heated humidifier?
With the heated humidifier on (about 34 W), about 3 nights (29 hrs). Without it (about 7 W), about 17 nights (6 days). Turning the humidifier off is the easiest way to stretch a charge.
Is the BLUETTI AC180 enough backup for a CPAP without a humidifier?
Only as a short bridge. It covers about 17 nights (140 hours) from a full charge. A power station should never be your only backup for medical equipment: ask your equipment supplier what they provide in an outage, register with your utility’s medical-needs program, and keep the settings your prescriber gave you.
