How Long Will the Anker SOLIX F3800 Run a CPAP Machine?
Updated 2026-10-17 · Yes
Medical equipment: these are estimates. Test your own setup and keep a backup plan.
The numbers
| Battery capacity | 3840Wh (LFP) |
|---|---|
| Usable energy | 3533Wh (92% via 12V/USB DC output) |
| Continuous AC output | 6000W |
| Surge rating | 9000W |
| CPAP machine running watts | 30W |
| Startup watts | 30W |
| Average draw | 30W |
| Estimated runtime | 4.9 days |
| Energy per day of typical use | 240Wh |
3840Wh × 0.92 = 3533Wh usable ÷ 30W average = 117.8 hours

Recharging with solar
The Anker SOLIX F3800 accepts up to 2400W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 9 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Solar can keep up. A CPAP machine uses about 240Wh a day at 8 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Anker SOLIX F3800 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Figures assume the humidifier and heated tube are off. Running a CPAP from its 12V/DC adapter instead of the AC outlet stretches runtime noticeably.
- Running it from the Anker SOLIX F3800’s DC port instead of the AC outlet avoids inverter losses: about 269Wh more usable energy.
- The Anker SOLIX F3800 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.

FAQ
Will the Anker SOLIX F3800 run a CPAP machine overnight?
Yes. Eight hours uses about 240Wh, roughly 7% of the Anker SOLIX F3800’s usable capacity.
How long does the Anker SOLIX F3800 take to recharge with solar?
With its maximum 2400W of solar input it refills in about 2.1 hours of strong sun. With a single 200W panel, expect about 5.1 sunny days (26 hours of full sun).
Is the Anker SOLIX F3800 safe for medical equipment?
These are estimates, not medical advice. Check your device’s actual power draw, test your setup before you rely on it, and always keep a backup plan approved by your doctor or equipment supplier.
