What do you look for in a portable battery backup for medical devices
(like CPAP)?
I would want it to run CPAP (of course) overnight for a three day power outage (or so), and maybe charge a laptop and run a router and that kind of minimum emergency stuff.
Great if it can run a refrigerator but that may be asking too much.

My county is offering a discount/rebate on a Portable Battery Backup <https://energyservices.org/psps/>

If you want 3 days on your CPAP you should be considering a generator to charge the battery backup.
First thing to do is determine the load you will have.
The yeti 6000 will last longest.
They're using the symbol wh to indicate total power
in watts that the device can provide over time. For
example, the yeti 6000 should be able to provide
100 watts for 60 hours if their number is correct.

The portable AC power inverter battery backup from the utility is free. <https://energyservices.org/psps/>
And it fits in the bedroom closet and can be used in the bedroom.
The generator is not.

It's a "ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset" so the load is whatever that uses. Probably something like special 24VAC at probably something like 3.75 Amps.
At least that's what it says for the 3-wire DC output for the CPAP machine.
