Affordable CPAP Battery Backup | EasyLonger ES960 Unboxing, Testing & Review

[@donpace6405]

Great video you did an Awesome job I loved the extra Humor you added to the video this was very helpful.

[@averagejoesmiling456]

Really appreciated this review. It was very thorough and thus very helpful. Do you know where this product is made? Great video. I'll keep it bookmarked for reference!

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

Thanks Joe. I'm moderately certain it's made in China.

[@averagejoesmiling456]

Thanks, Great Lakes. Well, I suppose sometimes we can't be choosey, unfortunately. @@GreatLakesPrepping

[@Bigfishfun333]

I had a huge problem with SUPER-DRY mouth using my CPAP. I now use a CHIN STRAP on my face, and that problem is 100% solved! Even when I turn humidifier off - which of course saves tons of battery power. I use a full-face mask as well, not the nose-only mask. Get. A. Strap.

[@randylee7166]

Very helpful vid, Thanks

[@Techridr]

These LiFePO4 batteries can be charged to 100% as often as you want without serious degradation compared with an NMC (Lithium Ion) battery. You need the light for the two only reasons to buy this: Power outages and camping. Seems a bit obvious to me. Also, before you peeled back the flap for the USB C port, the flap said IN/OUT, but you claimed it was in only. Thanks for the review

I have tested the EasyLonger 960 with my Resmed Aircurve 10 Bipap. Here is my results after each night: * If you DON'T use the humidifier & heated hose: After 8 hours, it only lost 1 bar, and it had PLENTY of power. Probably good for 2-3 nights (8 hrs. each time) * If you DO use the humidifier & heated hose: It ran out of power at just under 6 hours.

[@easylonger]

Thanks for your sharing^^ It's really helpful!

[@robertuffman3041]

i just looked these up and i can get the 720 option, that will last me 4 days hammock camping. hell yeah ty

[@glennrogers7961]

Great video. Thank you,

[@ziggzaggzip8241]

Great video and information. Thank you

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

Thanks friend

[@vikingjoe93]

Great video. I’ve been looking to buy something to charge my cpap in case of the electricity goes out. What is that mount you have for your hose. Mine has a tendency to fall between the mattress and headboard causing some neck discomfort and sometimes just wakes me up from it tugging my head.

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

Thanks. Yea this little hose clamp thingie is great. It keeps the hose at the proper angle, but also serves as a sort of "anchor" point in case I inadvertently move and yank kinda hard on the hose. This clamp will take that "yank", rather than me risking sending the machine flying. Here is the one I use: amzn.to/3ThNa2i

[@grock1515]

Hello GLP, do you have any recommendations for a solar panel to charge this unit? I love this little power bank so far. Thanks GLP

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

If if you're looking for portable, something like this would probably be a good option: amzn.to/41yqP2H

[@robertspitzner8060]

This is impressive, thank you for risking a night of sleep.

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

I hadn't thought about it like that! Anyhow, glad it was helpful, thanks.

[@woodlandbiker]

Turn the heated tube and humidifier off and gain a more nights use from this before recharging.

[@anned8634]

i just use a 12V 100 ah lifepo4 battery and a 100 watt solar panel to recharge the battery during the day total cost $200 and yes it's larger but i does just what i need. i can now go on fishing trips and camp for a couple days for the first time in years. you can put a wet wash choth in the water tank and get humidity for the CPAP without using the heater.

[@paulgarcia1566]

How many days of cpap with no heater? Also how do you connect the battery to the CPAP machine?

[@Rantandreason]

Those fridges are 12V ones Very useful things

[@DWilks-fo1ze]

In have this battery from another brand and it cannot be 96 Ah - for 12 volts it can only be a maximum of 24 Ah. It is way too small to be any more than 24 Ah. You can get a DC to DC converter for Resmed that are more efficient so use less power. They can be run from 12 or 24 volts and automatically convert to 24v. The C port is for both charging the battery and for powering devices.

[@lori6156]

I’ve tried finding and purchasing a 80 watt or higher solar panel that is mentioned in the Easy longer ES 960 users manual. I can’t find one anywhere. Can you recommend where I could locate one? Thanks

[@easylonger]

Hi,do you still need the solar panel? We will send a link for you.

[@TerryRice-s8s]

I just bought this The wall charging unit gets quite hot. Is this normal?

[@jasonp.brunke3601]

what are your cpap settings? pressure, temp?

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

I have number 7 for pressure, and I have the heat turned off.

[@howardb4]

my math is not adding up. at nearly 300 watt hrs capacity, according to amazon and running lowest voltage..12v. that would be 25 amp hrs capacity not 96000 mAhr (or 96 amp hrs). 300/12=25

[@Starcom70]

If you set the volts to 24 for your CPAP machine does that set the volts for all the output ports because you won't be able to charge your cell phone on this thing while your sleeping. I mean I don't think the USB ports should switch to 24 volts but it's not really explained.

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

I believe it only affects the CPAP adapter output. I can't say for certain, but I believe you're still good to charge your phone and such.

[@BigDaddyLong]

Works great but only last 8hrs on a charge with newer Cpap machines. So must take solar charging system

[@easylonger]

Hi,this is EASYLONGER Several factors can influence the runtime of a CPAP machine: 1, Humidifier and Heater Use 2, Pressure Settings 3, Mask Type 4, Auto Mode 5, Machine Type 6, Auto Leak Compensation 7, Ramp Feature (On/Off/Time Setting) 8, Exhalation pressure relief setting 9, Therapy Mode 10, Ambient Temperature 11, User's Breathing Habits 12, Altitude 13, Bluetooth/App/Wireless 14, Smart start/stop feature Under the same settings and usage conditions, power consumption will be as follows:Travel/Mini CPAP < CPAP machine < Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP)

[@robertuffman3041]

lol i'm using a jackery 160 my phillips dreamstation without the water tank weighs about 6 pounds. i get 2 days out of it.

[@Twicetwisted]

So in your opinion which is better the deep cycle battery and an inverter or this? Or both?

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

This gadget is much more convenient and portable. The marine battery and inverter will power much more stuff, and for way longer. If I'm only needing to power my machine for a night, I'd grab this thing. Otherwise, I gotta go with the big battery.

[@riggermorpus]

I’m new to this subject and in search of a backup supply for my Bipap machine. Can this unit run as a UPS? does it have the pass thru feature in other words. I’d like to plug in the wall 24/7.

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

To the best of my knowledge, this device probably won't quite work that way. It plugs into the wall only to charge its own battery. If you plugged something into it, it would drain the battery even if the battery is plugged in (because it would drain faster than it can charge). That being said, you can get a UPS that will probably work for the same amount or less than this costs.

[@riggermorpus]

@@GreatLakesPrepping thanks for the quick reply and info 👍

[@riggermorpus]

@@GreatLakesPreppingjust a update/correction. I did do more reading on this unit and it does in fact include the pass thru feature in its specs. fyi.

[@easylonger]

@@riggermorpus Yes,it can be used as a UPS without any problem.😘

[@TerryRice-s8s]

I just bought this. The wall charging unit gets quote hot while charging the battery. Is this normal?

[@jrclark9019]

I noticed that too.

[@etal843]

Just wondering why people go this way…….Why not just get a general power backup that is more versitle?

[@paulgarcia1566]

The run time in those less. Those are intended to be used just long enough to be shut down ASAP. Plus those batteries are terrible and way smaller and the beep loudly every minute.

[@tdapple1]

Lack of Knowledge . Ecoflow river 2. $168. 256 watt hours. Lifepo4 batteries 🔋 & much more capable. Just a slightly larger footprint 👣

[@geraldmosley2195]

How much is it? Probably too much.

[@simonbustin9543]

I have one of these and it only last two nights and that is without the humidifier on and heated tube

[@easylonger]

Several factors can influence the runtime of a CPAP machine: 1, Humidifier and Heater Use 2, Pressure Settings 3, Mask Type 4, Auto Mode 5, Machine Type 6, Auto Leak Compensation 7, Ramp Feature (On/Off/Time Setting) 8, Exhalation pressure relief setting 9, Therapy Mode 10, Ambient Temperature 11, User's Breathing Habits 12, Altitude 13, Bluetooth/App/Wireless 14, Smart start/stop feature Under the same settings and usage conditions, power consumption will be as follows:Travel/Mini CPAP < CPAP machine < Automatic Positive Airway Pressure (APAP)

[@easylonger]

Hi,you can check and adjust your setting to extend the runtime,and please make sure to fully charge the battery before use. Hope this will help^^

[@simonbustin9543]

@@easylonger thank you for that so do I have to turn all those features off?

[@easylonger]

@@simonbustin9543 Yes, you'd better turn off both to extend the runtime,or it can't last for two CPAPS for hours.

[@easylonger]

@@simonbustin9543 Hello, sorry for the late reply. You don't need to turn off all these functions. We will recommend: First, fully charge your ES960 battery, use it according to your normal settings of CPAP, and test the runtime. If it meets your needs, you don't need to make any settings changes. If the runtime is too short, please turn off the most power-consuming functions, such as turn off the humidification and heating, reduce the pressure level, adjust the mask position, reduce air leakage, etc. I hope this can help you^^

[@eddies262]

I already have a few computer battery backup units, will they work with a resmed10

[@GreatLakesPrepping]

If they accept a normal 110v plug, then I'm sure it would work with a resmed. But I couldn't speak to how long it would power the machine. I have a fairly large UPS for my computer, and it would likely not power my CPAP for a whole night.

[@erwinhernandez99]

Can this power 2 airsense 10s at the same time?

[@larrytanton5787]

Those have lead acid batteries in em and would need to recharge em more often, the lifepo would last longer it has about 3000 recharge cycles and the lead acid much less which means u would need to replace those batteries more often so cost would be much higher.

[@easylonger]

@@erwinhernandez99 Yes, you can power 2 airsense 10s from to our (2 cigar output ports) or power one from DC output port，one from cigar output port), remember to turn off the Humidifier and Heater, Hope this will help.

[@easylonger]

@@larrytanton5787 Yesssss!!!!!! Long last!!
