How long will a power station run an oxygen concentrator?

55 of 56 units can run it. The smallest is the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus (286 Wh, about 2 h). 26 hold 12 hours of an oxygen concentrator with the calculator's 20% headroom.

A portable concentrator such as the Philips SimplyGo draws 120 W running and 150 W while it also charges its own battery (Philips' sheet). It is a steady load, so the hours here are close to what the battery delivers, before any reserve.

What changes these hours

This is energy planning, not medical advice. Ask your equipment provider which backup power your concentrator supports, keep a reserve, and do not rely on one battery for oxygen you cannot go without.

The 0.85 allowance covers the inverter's conversion losses on average; at very small loads its own idle draw takes a larger share, and at very large ones the battery delivers a little less. Cold batteries hold less, and an older battery holds less than its rating. To plan a whole day with other devices and 20% headroom, use the calculator with 12 hours of an oxygen concentrator already added.

Medical equipment: these figures plan energy only. Whether your device can run from a power station, and how much reserve you need, is a question for its maker and your provider.

Also: home backup, a CPAP, and every device.

Questions buyers ask

How many watts does an oxygen concentrator use?

Portable oxygen concentrator: 120 W. Your own model's label or manual has its figure; put it into the calculator's custom row to size for exactly yours.

What size power station do I need for 12 hours of an oxygen concentrator?

2,033 Wh of rated capacity by the calculator's arithmetic (device watts × hours ÷ 0.85, plus 20% headroom), with at least 120 W of surge. 26 tracked units clear it.
