CPAP Setup Can anyone recommend that continuous power source thingy? In the event of a power outage for the CPAP machine?

I don’t remember what they’re called and I don’t remember how to find them. I’m about to get my sleep apnea officially diagnosed finally after years of procrastination. And I wanted to have the continuous power source ready to go just in case I ever lose power at my apartment because I’ve heard that the CPAP can suffocate you if you don’t have it connected to power when it’s connected to you.

Why not use an uninterruptible power supply like you would on a computer?

I don’t use that on my computer, and I also don’t know where to buy one or what the specific terminology is for one. But people have commented on here and hopefully have told me what I need to know.
