As Australia heads into bushfire season, which can cause power outages, those of us who rely on electricity to run essential medical equipment might want to think about buying a back-up battery that can be charged from mains power, and then be used to run
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines or to charge essential equipment like power wheelchairs or mobile phones.

For people who have National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you may be able to use your NDIS funding to buy a back-up battery to run your medical equipment.

This is the back up battery that I bought, the Yeti 1500X - it's the same model that Western Power provides life support customers for planned power outages. (Nobody gave me anything to make this post.) https://goalzero.com.au/shop/portable-power-stations/yeti-1500x/

For people in the US, note that this link is to the Australian site, and that due to currency conversion rates, the US price will be almost 50% less than the Australian price.
