If you are looking for a universal and portable way to power your CPAP, APAP or BiPAP then look no further! This 222 Wh Lithium-Ion battery pack easily powers your PAP device for more than one night.
Handy at home as a back-up during mains power failure and great for long haul flights, camping or travelling to places with unreliable power sources, the Super CPAP Battery Pack comes with a versatile set of accessories and a sturdy carrying bag to give you full peace of mind in those difficult situations. Because the battery has a built-in cigarette lighter adapter, it can power many types of appliances such as portable DVD players that require up to 12V.
The built-in power meter and test button allow you to monitor the battery's available power at any given moment, giving you ample opportunity to make sure it is charged enough for the night. Charging time is 5 to 8 hours depending on its level of depletion. LED lights will flash if the battery needs recharging.
Ideal for Travel
Weighing in at just under 5 pounds - 2.2Kgs, this battery offers the best weight and size to power ratio we have come across. It isn't a burden to carry around when you already have to deal with your other bags and yet is big and powerful enough to run your equipment without worrying it runs out prematurely.
Offering a steady 12 Volts and max. 6 Amp current, this battery is suitable for a wide range of makes and models. Please consult the manual of your PAP device on DC power requirements and ask us about whether it will connect with your particular sleep therapy unit. Most PAP machines manufacturers offer a cigarette lighter type cord*; they will work fine with the Super CPAP Battery Pack. Other may need an additional piece we may be able to help you with.
* Respironics: DC Power Adapter (1012975) ResMed: DC-12 Converter (33942) DeVilbiss: DC Power Cord (DV51D-619)
CPAP machines that can't be run from a DC source via a barrel type adapter can still be run off this battery pack with an additional sine wave power inverter (150W).
Heated humidifier plates take up a lot of energy so in general, manufacturers advise against powering a humidifier from 12V DC. It may be possible still and in some cases an inverter may be required (though an inverter will drain power even faster). Please consult the manual of your humidifier about the option of battery power.
