Hi there, I’m brand new to the portable power station world. My only experience is with smaller external batteries used to charge phones, tablets, laptops, etc, via USB and UPS’s by APC and CyberPower with lead acid batteries I’ve used for home computers.
I bought two Elite 30 V2’s, one for me and one gifted to my dad. Primarily as an inexpensive way to try the devices out and for his specific need.
My question is his unit has been powering itself off while it’s been plugged into the wall and having no power outages. I think I might have solved this problem by turning ECO Mode off in the app, both AC & DC. He has his ResMed AirCurve 11 BiPAP. machine plugged into his unit intending not to be interrupted while sleeping if the power goes out. Is this possible and if so, have I made all the correct adjustments necessary?
My second question is, I believe there’s some degree of inefficiency plugging the BiPAP machine directly into the unit’s AC outlet due to the power being converted from DC to AC by the inverter and then back to DC on the BiPAP machine? I saw 12V power cords on Amazon specifically for the BiPAP machine he has that would plug into the car DC Output 12v/10a on the unit…would buying one of those for about $30 be worthwhile?
Thanks!
