Since some electronics do not play well with modified syne inverters, I suggest you consider the 12v direct option if it’s available. it eliminates the unnecessary additional power drain of an inverter running all night, and risk of damage to the medical device(CPAP) from modified syne is eliminated.
Yes, that would have been my first choice. It looks like it needs 24VDC. But this is a guy who did not know what an inverter was until i told him so he'd probably not want me hacking his machine.
