Will the Goal Zero Yeti 300 run a cpap machine?
Yes — the Yeti 300 runs a cpap machine comfortably
Its 300W continuous output easily covers the 40W draw, with 600W of surge on tap for startup.
How we calculated this
We start from the Goal Zero Yeti 300's 227 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 297 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the cpap machine's 40W draw:
227 Wh ÷ 40 W ≈ 5.7 hours
Heads up: a cpap machine is a motor/compressor load that spikes 2–3× on startup. The Goal Zero Yeti 300's 300W continuous / 600W surge output has plenty of headroom for that spike.
Real-world runtime varies with temperature, cable losses, and how hard the appliance actually cycles. Treat this as a solid estimate, not a guarantee.
