5 Night CPAP Battery

[@simonvance8054]

I noticed you had an Aimtom so I clicked on this video. I also bought one on amazon and it’s been great for charging and powering a lot of things. My doctor recommended me getting a cpap but I didn’t think the Aimtom could power it.. now I know it can.. Thanks for this!

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

@simonvance8054 the Aimtom will power it if your CPAP operates at 12 volts, which some do. For machines with other voltages you need the ES960 with selectable voltage, see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4XVnYp3rbGFqqcsi=cFRWUrLAs8uPNpz5

[@timh.5198]

I checked your numbers and I think it is possible. I don’t doubt your word. My Resmed 10 airsense without humidifier uses 7 watts so 6 hours per night for 4 nights is quite possible. The main point here is that with the right cpap device and no humidifier you don’t need some kind of expensive huge battery to get you thru a camping adventure. A small cheap battery will do just fine.

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

Thank you! It works well for extended weekend trips. When I gomfor 2 or 3 nights now I don't even take the charger or solar panel.

[@jeanleduc3448]

Thank you so much, i am a sailor , I saw your video and purchase the unit with the cable, it is Fantastic, what a great solution , lot less expansive than the cpap battery pack ! Thanks again !

[@jojopuppyfish]

So I have the 450P System One and I tried it on my portable battery. There are 5 bars on my portable battery and after 1 night it was still 5 bars full! So this looks like it will work for 5 days at least. And thanks for the advise on the humidity HME. That works!. But the key to the whole thing is using a 12V cpap. For example I also have a Airsense 10 and that is 24v so it probably draws more electricity. PS to everyone: The 450P has been recalled by Philips. I've read online that people just removed the foam inside and that did not affect the noise. PPS: The Dreamstation 2 is a 12v cpap but physically larger than the 450p because the humidifier is not detatcchable.

[@MrSoulMonk]

Great explanation. Thank you! One other option for the device is a travel-sized unit like the Resmed Airmini that does not support humidification and is also an autoset machine. It makes packing easier and consumes less power overall. Good luck with your travels.

[@Chemigrante]

Hi there... I'm writing you from Spain same as you I like to go out camping, adventure, etc.,.. until now I almost couldn't find out any kind of information about any real or practical case... so thank you so much because you open my mind... of course, I know that if I buy an external power station as Jackery or Bluetti with 1000 w output I can run any CPAP but the dilemma was how to do with the exact power you need as more portable and lightweight as possible... OMG thanks 😀

[@lukegodin8653]

FYI. I think your chapter is part of the world wide Philips cpap recall.

I have a CPAP Aircurve 10 I travel to Puerto Rico every year where power outages are common and could last up to several hours. I heard of the jackery generator but I would like something more compact. I also use my humidifier.

[@ameeromedia5883]

You will need to invest in something with more WH and preferably with a DC jack as well. I own an Air Sense 10 for her and I use my humidifier as well.

[@derekd4221]

aircurve 10 is a bipap machine, is it not? I have an Aircurve 10 ST-A and it's a bipap.

I winter camp in the GWNF. I'm gonna get this and see how cold effects of this power supply.

[@madmacc040]

Well...not good for the resmed s8 elite. 1 night and a few hours the next night is all I got with dc fused cord. The resmed s8 elite is dc positive ground.

[@lewisseward4521]

How about some specific information such as how many amp hours does the AIMTOM hold at a full charge and how many amps does your CPAP draw without the humidifier? also how many watts does the solar Piano put out? These are the nuts and bolts questions that we need to know

[@ebikecnx7239]

I use 12v 12Ah LiFePO4 battery costing $40 plus a Chinese DC to DC step up converter and the Resmed Airsense 10 uses 7W. So the 144Wh battery lasts 2 nights. Works well and can go on airplane as under 160Wh.

[@blueback21]

Wouldn’t you need a converter from 12 V 24 V for resmed 10 air sense?

[@jawkneeboy]

this is exactly what i was looking for - thanks for your help!

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

Thank you

[@grh7399]

I have a Resmed Air sense 10 too, turning off your humidifier is easy. The white button to the right of the screen just press and hold till the top part lights up( My Options) press the white button and the screen will light up with pressure and a list of options and turn the white button ( I think clockwise ) to humidifier and then turn the button to go down to off. I camp and sleep in a tent and I use a deep cycle marine battery from Walmart ($99) with a 410w inverter and turn the humidifier off and get 5 nights of 8 hrs per night, but the marine battery weighs 65lbs. If I have to charge the battery I either drive around a bit ( hooked to my battery charger) or drive into town 15 miles and plug it in at a gas station where I buy the girls lunch or dinner. I would like to give this a try but I still have some questions about how long it would take with the solar panel and how long it takes to get to 100% charge driving around with my battery charger charging it. Interesting video, thanks.

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

Thank you. The AIMTOM is definitely lighter than 65 pounds!

[@caroledonaldson5195]

Iirc, you can turn off ResMed 10 humidifier by changing to AIRPLANE mode. ✈️👍

[@NigelM18]

lol, nooo, all that does is turn off your cellular card in the resmed 10. To turn of your humidifier you go options>humidity level>turn wheel till the number goes lowest to off.

[@northernlight4614]

[@roberttosa2560]

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

[@haroldprasatik3304]

There is a way to turn off your AirSense 10 heated humidifier and heated tubing. Read the manual or play with the options on the CPAP. Unfortunately, as you stated, it requires 24 volts are you have to plug it into the AC outlet of the battery and lose power through the extra converstion.

[@peterfejarang6677]

I been using an inverter connected to my 12volt battery to power up Resmed Airsense 19 Autoset nightly for almost a month now due to a power outage. Works fine all night with humidifier off/no heated hose. I'm sure there are several other options but this works for me.

[@theequalizer2007]

Good machine that Remstar. Pity I had to change it because of the recent recall.

[@24juan68]

Can I use a cigarette lighter plug 12 volts to charge the unit?

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

Yes my unit came with a 12 volt charger cable.

[@firemaker7016]

I think with your experience, using the resmed Bipap you could get at least 2 nights out of this.

[@theintruder77]

Length of use totally depends on the power consumption rate of your CPAP device. Older machines will run the battery down much quicker. If your machine uses a heater to create steam then it will run it down much faster.

[@northernlight4614]

It's best to disconnect the humidifier.

[@cdmercer4982]

I still have my old machine like that. Mine is the REMstar plus CFlex i dont think its on the recall list, but not sure, do you know? Can you still buy filters for it? Great vid, Thanks! and im looking in to this backup power.

[@lee-annbradley1892]

Would it make a difference if it is a BiPAP vs CPAP as far as power usage? Also, dual pressures (19/15 cmH20). Would that affect the run time too?

[@danak9245]

Need a solution for the Resmed 11 cpap. My old Pilot 12 battery is not compatible, because of the power cord on the resmed 11. I backpack and need a very light weight battery.

[@stevedaigle]

Hi, I just got the AIMTOM and tried it with my Airsense10 using the AC no converter. I got a full 8 hours out of my CPAP and 3 hours the following night. Why is it that a DC converter would improve an extra 10 hours ? Not a genius in electrical DC AC VOLTS etc. Thats why asking for simple explanation please.

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

Couple of reasons for the difference are possible. 1) Were you running the humidifier because they consume a lot of energy? and 2) My machine that I used in the video runs on 12 volt DC current which is the same as the AIMTOM battery output. That is more efficient than running the invertor in the AIMTOM to convert DC to AC.

[@RoadLifePursuits]

I ran across your video last night and have a Resmed airsense 10 and as you stated it says 24v on the bottom, but are you saying if I turn off the humidifier, which I always turn off as I don't use it, that I can connect it to this battery with a DC cord and I'll get 4-5 days with it? Did you ever test it with yours? Also, if you did, does that cable you have work for the Resmed? I looked at it and it just does not look like it's the same plug as the one I have on my regular plug.

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

No I don't think that will work. The Airsense 10 needs 24 volts and I haven't tried mine with the battery. My older RemStar System 1 uses 12 volts and I think that accounts for the longer run time. I don't understand why there aren't more 12 volt machines available.

[@timh.5198]

This is what you will need for the 24v Resmed. www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed-dc-converter-airsense-aircurve-10-machines That will make it way more efficient than using the 120v.

[@vickisutherlin7426]

I have a Res Med Air Mini. I use the the Aimtom 155wh and the battery life is only about 6 hours. Aimtom suggests using a 12v DC adapter for longer run time. I haven't been able to find an adapter that wasnt a car charger on one end. Can you or anyone suggest where i can find an adapter for my Airmini and Aimtom?

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

If you are using your standard home plug for the AirMini and running the inverter on the AimTom it will greatly reduce your runtime. The AimTom should have come with the cigarette lighter adapter that you plug into one of the 3 small round output ports (on the AimTom) and then plug the cigarette lighter converted into that. That should extend your runtime to several nights (I think but I have never tested the AirMini with the AimTom) Another option is the battery I featured in this playlist kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4XVnYp3rbGFqqc as it will come with the necessary cable for the AirMini and give you twice as much runtime as the AimTom battery.

[@ralphkolarik4115]

When you power your CPAP are you using DC power or AC power? I bought one of these and ran it one night with the AC jack on the front of the device, the fan came on and it lasted through the night but the second night it died. I have since read that it looks like I have to run this with DC to make this work as you speak of here. Is that the case are you using a DC converter for your CPAP machine? I have a Resmed Airsense 10 which is a home unit. I hoping the DC converter i just bought for it that cost 1110$ will do the trick, otherwise... my mistake.

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

I am using DC power. The machine I have (REMStar) is a 12 volt DC machine so I don't need a converter, just a cord from the battery to the machine.

[@Les_S537]

That must be a typo... you bought a DC 12V connector for your Resmed Airsense 10 that cost 1110$? I bought mine on Amazon for $40 after taxes.

[@ronaldshaw9973]

great information. thank you . This is just i need.

[@mel2000]

The 12V AIMTOM 42000mAh 155Wh is a good CPAP power bank but it is much larger than the more portable ones. It also doesn't natively support the popular 24V AirSense CPAP without using an inverter, which cuts down on nightly battery run life.

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

Agreed. Anytime you can avoid an inverter or converter you will get more run time from the battery. I wish their were more 12 volt machines available. My travel machine is native 12 volt which is a big part of the reason I got the long run times shown in the video.

[@jordanlineger-nd5gz]

What was the brand of the generator that crapped out on you on your trip?

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

I think it was a Kohler. It was not my boat , I was just crew for the trip.

[@mikehernandez1511]

can you use this as a battery backup meaning its plugged in the AC everynight and IF the power goes out it automatically switches to battery AND not sure how old yours is but is it still working? Holding its charge? My backup is now 2 years old and the other night the power went out and I thought no big deal then 1 hour later my machine totally went dead. 2 years old and it can no longer hold its charge.

[@RooftopSafetyUSA]

Well you could leave it hooked up to power continously but I think that would shorten the battery life. If you were going to do that you would need to use the battery power to power the CPAP and wall outlet to charge the battery. But again I think that type of continous charging would shorten the battery life. Mine is still working but I haven't used it for anything more than a 2 night weekend in a while. I should do another long test.

You should be able to. The battery output is 12 volt so you would need either a 12 to 24 volt converter or use the 120 volt output of the battery.

[@Norton3139]

Are you still happy with this? This will change my life if it works. I do not use the heater.

@@RooftopSafetyUSA Math doesn't lie. 155 watt hours divided by 12 is 12.9 amp hours. Even if you're cpap machine somehow only drew 1 amp hour (which is ludicrous, almost every cpap machine draws the same, about 2.5 amps) it would only last 12 hours.

@@jrr___7902 I agree math doesn't lie, but neither do I. It happened exactly the way I described in the video. Just a few weeks ago I went on another short ocean voyage of 3 days and it worked each night without recharging.

No machine actually consumes the full amount of power on the rating.

@@RooftopSafetyUSA Even so, for it to last 3 night without recharging - assuming 8 hours per night, it would have to be drawing a maximum of .53 before losses. An led light bulb draws that much. Unless your machine is made of magic beans, you're full of crap.
