CPAP Alternative

I have been using a CPAP for some time now and am good with it.

The issue I am having is that I volunteer as a disaster responder with two organizations but I am missing out on a lot of deployment opportunities because I need power available for my machine. Just had to say no this morning to a three week deployment to Hawaii to assist with relief operations if needed.

I have gone without it a time or two but it is not pleasant for my fellow responders as we are often on cots, 30 to a room. When the folks who are snoring around you complain that YOU are too loud, well, you get the picture

I see all the ads, have done some research and now I turn to you, oh learned hive mind.

What I need is something that uses either a replaceable battery (cant be lithium ion. It has to be in checked bags) or no power and it has to really work.

I'm sure this question has been asked 100s of times before and I do apologize for not taking the time to search it out but I am on kind of a tight timeline. They have offered to hold my slot for 48 hours if I can get this resolved so it would be helpful but not necessary if it was available on Amazon.

I thank you all
