I’m a company driver in a 2019 T680 and I idle to run my cpap. There’s times when I would definitely like to not idle, plus I know it drive some drivers nuts when I high idle next to them.
But I’m concerned about killing the batteries and electrical has always been foreign to me. Can I run the 400w inverter w/cpap machine (plus I have one of those iceless coolers) for 7-9 hours? I usually just do my 10 hour and go.
Thanks
Can I run my cpap on a 400w inverter without idling?

Probably not. Honestly you have one of the newer quieter trucks high idle isn’t as loud and obnoxious as someone with a POS Volvo with the air governor cutting off every 10 seconds.

I love my CPAP. Best thing I ever did.

Have you tried not Idling, I would think your batteries should be good enough to last all night. Just try it and see, the worst that can happen is your low battery alarm will go off and you will need to start the truck. Also you don't need to hi idle. On the rare occasion when I idle I just run it on low, I have a 15 ISX 2350.
