We get this one a lot...
Q: Can I use the oxygen concentrator and chamber in my car?
A: Most vehicles lack the necessary power output for the oxygen concentrator to function. Many cars have cigarette outlets and some newer cars, trucks, SUVs have regular household outlets to charge phones or small appliances. The PureVent 5 Liter Oxygen Concentrator requires more power than a car or SUV outlet can typically provide. If you need to transport your pet, we recommend using Pet Oxygen Rescue Kits. They provide a safe and effective way to support them with oxygen therapy on the way.
If the portable oxygen kits are not adequate (your pet requires a higher flow rate than our canisters can provide, or you need to supply oxygen for an extended period), you may consider purchasing a portable power station with high enough wattage to supply the concentrator with power. However, there are some important factors to consider. The power source will also need to be charged at some point. You must also ensure your car has adequate ventilation. Additionally, you need to ensure your equipment and your pet are secure in case of an accident.
