Christy and Ron Shaw
Full History and Story of Ron Shaw and CpapPower.com:
Ron Shaw, owner and founder of Cpappower.com discovered the need for a product like this during a minor storm in 2014, which created a power outage at his home, located 30 miles north of Seattle WA. He spent the night trying to sleep sitting upright in his recliner. After 2 hours of "sleep", the stiffness and muscle soreness set in, and by the end of the night, he was in agony. And he spent the next day horribly tired from the lack of quality sleep! Ron's wife, Christy, commented on his grumpiness several times that day! Thankfully the power came back on because, otherwise, Christy was ready for them to spend the next night in a Motel that had power!
Afterwards, when Ron went on-line to buy some sort of Battery System to use for his Cpap during Power Outages, he was disappointed in what was available. Whatever he found was terribly expensive for a battery that only lasted 2 nights ("12 - 14 hours"), and it came with only a 12 month warranty. These batteries available on-line were really lightweight and portable, but that was no real advantage for use at home. Ron wanted something that had more energy reserves for when the power might stay out for multiple days.
Ron is not an electrical engineer, but fortunately he knew a guy at church who was! They designed a system for Ron, and then another for Ron's son-in-law, Lee, and that is when the idea struck: "eBAY!"
There are Millions of individuals who are dependent on their PAP devices to be able to breathe while sleeping. (That whole "oxygen supply to the brain & heart" thing that our doctors keep harping about!) And Ron set out to provide a safe and secure, reasonably priced, alternative power source for people when unexpected outages occur. (As they do everywhere). BUT after selling these on eBAY for several months, Ron quickly discovered from his new customers that Most people were buying them TO GO CAMPING! Suddenly people wanted a unit that would last beyond the 4 to 8 nights of his first system. So, with research and testing, the creation of several bigger systems began. In 2019 Ron started the switch over from SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) Batteries to the newer Lithium Ion models. We are now offering the 3rd Generation of Lithium Batteries known as "Lithium Iron Phosphate" (LiFePO4). And the warranty has jumped up to 10 years for some of them!
For our new expansion into supplying ALASKA customers, we are starting off with offering our 2 most popular selling units. Our TOP SELLER is especially for Camping or Power Outages at home. It will supply power to run most cpaps for 11 to 15 NIGHTS on each recharge* (conditions apply, read below). AND our latest development is an Un-interruptible Power Supply type battery system that operates 24/7 to ensure that you will NEVER wake up gasping for air because the power shut off. Your PAP Device keeps running without missing a breath as your optional “SET IT & FORGET IT” battery system UPGRADE provides constant power.
Our OTHER HOT SELLER is for taking onto a Commercial Airplane, with full FAA and TSA Approval. It will power a cpap for 2 to 3 nights* on each recharge. It is very compact and weighs a smidge over 3 lbs.
Each system is hand-assembled (usually by Ron!) and is tested for performance a minimum of 4 times before is goes out the door.
Ron is proud to offer manufacturer-direct products to solve the common concerns of PAP users across the nation. We have systems to support 100% of all the Cpap / BiPap /VPap /APap models sold in America. The products which we offer here at AlaskaCpapPower.com provide the most reliable power source for your device during power outages, road trips, and camping excursions. (Years later, Christy too, is now using her own Cpap as well. We can share 1 battery for both machines.)
Now people can have the freedom to thoroughly enjoy the outdoors with their loved ones on camping trips, even when another reliable power source is not always available. And who wants to run a generator all night just to keep a PAP device running and keeping all the other campers awake with the Noise? Our Batteries are TOTALLY SILENT.
I, Ron Shaw guarantee Compatibility and Performance.*

*Performance claims are founded on a 7 hour “Night” based on the average sleep of adults in the USA. All claims are based on all the “comfort” heaters for the PAP Devices set to “OFF” or “ZERO” since those heaters consume SIX TIMES as much energy as the PAP running with just the fan that makes the pressure.

BUT after selling these on that really BIG auction site for several months, Ron quickly discovered from his new customers that Most people were buying them TO GO CAMPING! Suddenly people wanted a unit that would last beyond the 4 to 8 nights of his first system. So, with research and testing, the creation of several bigger systems began.
Now there are a selection of 11 different systems offering a wide range of price choices. One is especially for taking on an Airplane, another is perfect for Backpacking, several are ideal for Emergency Power at Home. AND our latest development is an Un-interruptible Power Supply type battery system that operates 24/7 to ensure that you will NEVER wake up gasping for air because the power shut off. Your PAP Device keeps running without missing a breath as your “SET IT & FORGET IT” battery system provides constant power.
And for Camping, our biggest battery offers a whopping 28 to 32 nights* of power (depending on your Cpap pressure settings).
Each system is hand-assembled (usually by Ron!) and is tested for performance a minimum of 4 times before is goes out the door.
