Frankly that’s nonsense. First, most current CPAP power supplies are literally indistinguishable from those used on laptops, with identical wattage and construction.

Second, the outlets are all designed to shut off at any hint of excess power draw.

I wouldn’t count on the outlets to be sufficient, or reliable, but the only danger in trying it out is disagreement with the crew.
