Senior Emergency Preparedness Checklist: Why the EASYLONGER ES720 CPAP Battery Belongs in Every Home
In recent years, America has seen an increase in extreme weather events, from devastating tornadoes to unexpected ice storms and wildfires. For older adults, especially those with chronic conditions like sleep apnea, these events pose serious health risks—not just from the storm itself, but from the power outages that follow.
That’s why every senior or caregiver needs an emergency preparedness checklist tailored to medical needs. And if you rely on a CPAP machine to breathe soundly at night, one item should be at the very top of that list: the EASYLONGER ES720 CPAP battery backup.
Why CPAP Users Are at Risk During Emergencies
A CPAP machine requires electricity to run—and without it, sleep apnea sufferers are left vulnerable to fatigue, oxygen desaturation, and increased risk of heart-related complications. During storms, blackouts, or evacuations, access to reliable power may not be guaranteed for days.
That’s why emergency agencies like FEMA and the CDC strongly recommend that those using life-sustaining medical equipment have a backup power source on hand. A rechargeable CPAP battery for power outages is no longer optional—it’s essential.
What Makes the EASYLONGER ES720 a Checklist Essential?
The EASYLONGER ES720 CPAP battery backup stands out because of its perfect balance of portability, affordability, and reliability. Here’s why it belongs in your emergency kit:
-
Lightweight and travel-ready: At under 2 pounds, it’s easy to store or carry during an evacuation.
-
Reliable performance: Delivers a full night of CPAP therapy on a single charge—ideal for short- to medium-duration power outages.
-
Solar charging compatibility: Pair it with a solar panel (sold separately) for extended use when the grid stays down.
-
Universal compatibility: Works with most major CPAP models, including ResMed and Philips.
-
Safe and smart charging: Equipped with protections against overcharging, overheating, and short-circuiting.
