Goal Zero Yeti 500 CPAP Runtime Estimate

An overnight CPAP target check for the Yeti 500 with conservative reserve and manufacturer guidance visible. The estimate uses the same runtime engine as the main calculator and keeps source confidence visible.

Goal Zero Yeti 500 portable power station

Within the tracked power limits; compatibility still needs checking

9h 1m

Estimated runtime: CPAP without heated humidifier. Within the tracked power limits; compatibility still needs checking

8h 0m

Planning default · ≤ 9h 1m

AC inverter

Continuous output rating (W): 500 W

CPAP without heated humidifier: 40 W · Duty cycle (%): 100% · Efficiency (%): 85% · Reserve kept unused (%): 15%. Runtime is conditional on successful startup, compatible voltage/connectors and sufficient output. Verify the actual device setup before relying on these hours.

Runtime range

These are calculated sensitivity cases, not a statistical confidence interval. Conservative uses lower efficiency and battery health, more reserve/temperature loss and higher load; optimistic changes these assumptions in the opposite direction.

Assumptions

Use this as a planning estimate, not a guaranteed runtime claim.

  • Battery capacity (Wh): 499.2 Wh
  • Device wattage (W): 40 W
  • Duty cycle (%): 100%
  • Output path: AC inverter
  • Efficiency (%): 85%
  • Reserve kept unused (%): 15%
  • Battery health (%): 100%
  • Cold weather loss (%): 0%
  • Device startup surge (W): Not required
  • Fixed station overhead unknown; not included
  • This is an estimate. Real runtime changes with load, temperature, battery age, AC/DC output, and device behavior. Runtime is conditional on successful startup, compatible voltage/connectors and sufficient output. Verify the actual device setup before relying on these hours.
  • Within the tracked power limits; compatibility still needs checking
  • CPAP values are editable planning assumptions, not a manufacturer-approved battery prescription. Check the exact device, pressure, humidifier, heated tube, approved converter and output path with the manufacturer and care provider. Adapter wattage is not measured therapy consumption. Do not change prescribed therapy to meet an estimate.
