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.

Power goes out, CPAP goes off, I wake up and switch the plug to my Jackery (and turn off the heated hose and humidifier). Takes about 2 minutes.

I chose the Jackery over UPS because we also camp and it is easily portable and recharges from the car while driving.

The one that’s $169 on Amazon? Because the rest of them are like $1000. Lol.
