Personally for local or camping (not air travel) I like the 35-55 AH AGM SLA scooter batteries. (SLA = sealed lead acid aka non-spillable) If you turn of heated hose & humidification (passover humidification is okay) they will last a few nights. See the ResMed battery guide for more detailed run estimates at https://www.resmed.com/us/dam/documents/articles/198103_battery-guide_glo_eng.pdf.
Basic list of parts you need:
Depending on which CPAP machine you have:
Edit: the cigarette adapter is only optional for ResMed since it comes with a clamp adapter - Philips does not. I'd still get one though since it can bolt to the battery terminals.
I also have an AirSense 10 Autoset. The power "brick" provided with the unit is a conventional 120-240 VAC to DC converter. With the Ego Lawn Mower and Inverter you're converting electricity from DC to AC to DC. There will be substantial power-to-heat losses due to less-than-optimum efficiency of the power conversion.
Additionally, the AC output of the Ego Inverter (see manual, page 9) is limited to 150 Watts. At 120 Volts, this means that the current maximum it allows is 1.25 Amp. The maximum current demand that the AirSense 10 requires is 1.50 Amp. This is why the inverter's overheat is being triggered and it cuts power to your APAP; too much current is being demanded by the unit for the inverter's circuitry to handle.
I recommend following Resmed's Battery Guide using stand-alone, deep-cycle batteries.
I take my AirSense 10 camping and I recently purchased the following items, totaling to $205.56
12V 35AH batteries ship factory-charged. If used with tube heating and humidification switched off, and maximum IPAP pressure of 16 cm H2O then a single battery will last you for two 8-hour nights. See Page 7 of Resmed's Battery Guide for details of power consumption if using any of the heat settings.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me questions.
If it were my trailer I'd buy a battery box and move the battery to the tongue.
That means running a bunch of heavy wire from the tongue to the back (I would use 10ga minimum since it's DC and you get a bunch of voltage loss on long runs with DC.)
Or you could build an enclosure around the battery and put a vent in the outside wall.
You'll have to make it so you can open the enclosure for maintenance.
It's weird that they would mount the battery there, you might want to point it out to the manufacturers.
I'd just put the biggest marine deep cycle battery I can fit as my starting battery, (probably group 31) and get a $100 lithium jump pack in case I ran it down.
Or
You can build your own goal zero type portable battery setup for$200-400. The Yeti 400 is a 33ah 12v AGM deep cycle battery with 300w sine wave inverter and a 12v plug in. It also has features like low battery alarm, displays power usage, and comes with an AC charger. You won't save much $ making it smaller/less powerful, but it will weigh less if you'd like to use a smaller than 33ah battery.
$50-150 for an AGM deep cycle 12v battery, 33ah
$75-150 for a 300w pure sine wave inveter, you can save more money if you don't need pure sine wave or 300w, or don't mind an always on fan
$25-50 for a 12v trickle charger to charge the battery up at home, if you don't have a charger already
$15 for a male to male 12v adapter to charge it from your car, or use your jumper cables.
$10-20 for a 12v socket or two, or a USB charger socket
$10-50 for a battery case to hold the battery and mount the inverter and sockets on
$30 on misc parts like voltage display, wire, and fuses
