Home Power Facts Can a portable power station run an oxygen concentrator (home, 5 L/min)?
Yes, 14 of the 15 power stations we track can run an oxygen concentrator (home, 5 L/min); the smallest that can is the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus. Expect about 0.7 h (EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus) to 8.3 h (Anker SOLIX F3800) on a full charge.

How these runtimes are calculated: runtime = usable capacity ÷ average draw of 350 W (the running draw, assumed on the whole time). Usable capacity is an independent test's measured figure, or 80% of rated capacity where none exists, marked "(est.)". A model must also carry the running watts continuously and the startup peak within its surge rating. The same formula applies to every model; see the methodology.

What size do you need?
What size power station do I need for an oxygen concentrator (home, 5 L/min)?
Look for at least 350 W of continuous AC output and 350 W of surge. For capacity, an oxygen concentrator (home, 5 L/min) averages about 350 W, so 8 hours needs roughly 3,500 Wh of rated capacity and 24 hours roughly 10,500 Wh, assuming 80% of rated capacity reaches the outlets.
How long will a 1,000 Wh power station run an oxygen concentrator (home, 5 L/min)?
About 2.3 h for a generic 1,000 Wh unit, if its inverter can handle the 350 W startup surge: roughly 800 Wh (80% of rated) reaches the outlets, divided by an average draw of 350 W. Measured models of this size vary; see the table above.
Which power station can run an oxygen concentrator (home, 5 L/min) for a full day?
None of the 15 models we track runs an oxygen concentrator (home, 5 L/min) for 24 hours on one charge. Plan to recharge (solar or grid) during the day, or add an expansion battery.
What an oxygen concentrator (home, 5 L/min) draws
| Running watts | 350 W[source]Philips Respironics EverFlo (0.5-5 L/min, 120 V version) specifications: average power consumption 350 W. Other brands and older units differ; check your concentrator's label or manual. |
|---|---|
| Startup (surge) watts | Not publishedPhilips publishes no start-up (surge) figure. The concentrator runs a compressor, so start-up draw is likely above 350 W; size the inverter with headroom. The site falls back to running watts when surge is unknown. |
| Average draw used above | 350 W |
| Voltage | 120 V |
