Hi All,
First time use of AC 180, powered a CPAP for 8 hours. Is this appropriate battery use from 99% charge?
Do you know how much of Watts your CPAP is using?
69% means you use about 400Wh of battery over 8 hours. So Watts should be around 50 for the CPAP including self consumption of the AC and other Powerstation electronics

Hi all,
FYI, I just measured self-consumption of the AC180 with AC output circuit on (nothing plugged in) at 12 watts. In my test, the unit lost 26% state of charge in 24 hours, thus (1152W-hr)(26%)/(24 hrs) = 12watts self-discharge.
Thus, the AC180 will fully self-discharge in 4 days with AC output circuit turned on but with no loads plugged in. So be sure to keep that AC circuit off when not in use.
But I’m using a modified version of the firmware (ARM v2073.04, DSP v2077.07, BMS v1033.07), so your mileage may vary.
