Solar charger for CPAP battery

[Banjo91]

I picked up a Freedom CPAP battery to power my CPAP on an upcoming 5 day elk hunt ... will also serve as a power bank for phone and GPS if needed.

I'd like to get a foldable solar panel to charge the battery while I am hunting during the day. Any recommendations out there?

Freedom used to sell a 50w foldable solar charger, but it has been discontinued.

I'm on the bleeding edge of my expertise discussing this ... so any advice is welcome.

I have a ResMed AirMini. I just use a Goal Zero Yeti. They have lots of different solar panel options. I have a few of their battery packs. For more remote trips, I run a Goal Zero Sherpa 100AC. It's small and fairly lightweight. Runs two nights, depending on temperature. I pair it with their Nomad 10 panel. I have bigger panels and electric generators, but that seems to do the best. I actually just went on a week long moose hunt last week and I forgot the charger to my Cpap like an idiot. The week prior, I had ordered one of those mouth guard things from ResMed. I had tossed that in my pack for giggles and grins, and turns out it saved my bacon. And actually worked great! I know it's not what you're asking for, but it's a super cheap and portable alternative.

Thanks ... very helpful. I've thought about getting the mouthpiece, but think I stick with the electronic stuff.

Going through this same research right now. Thanks for posting up. I was looking at the Sherpa and the nomad 20.

In the process of picking up a travel cpap machine myself. I appreciate the input.

I just started wearing a mouth guard at night, that holds my jaw forward. It’s made a huge difference for me. I probably should have gone full CPAP but between hunting and general travel didn’t want to deal with one.
