I have a cpap and just had my company install a 1500w inverter for me to use. My question is do I need to leave the truck running all night or can my batteries make it through the night?

I have a ResMed and got the 12v plug for it. They don't use much power even less if you don't run humidifier. My current truck have extra battery for electric APU.
-
Believe it or not, I run mine off a 200 watt Cobra inverter that runs off the cigarette lighter plug! They use very little power!

Hopefully your truck doesn't start and stop during the night to run the AC and charge the batteries. Mine did, and when the motor cranked it shut off power and my cpap would turn off. My company addressed this for their cpap drivers by installing a separate deep cycle battery and inverter under the bunk that would recharge during the day.

Ok maybe someone can help came to new company on a fresh two year dot they basically said no good called me fat and put me on this thing now ive had issues with the pressure of air and it not recording ive left messages and emails to both my company and medical provider with no response or help on this matter now dot is due the 19th and medical provider wants to claim no compliance what should i do... My actual doctor tryed getting results of test that was performed but hasnt got it and no one will show proof of needing but still want me to pay 900 for a mechine that hasnt worked and now facing a suspention and loss of license

Not sure about your system, but on mine I can show compliance on the machine itself. I would take the machine into the DOT physician and say "see, I use the ###### thing."
