Battery Backup for CPAP Power Outages.

[@garygullikson6349]

Nice no BS video: My current setup: ResMed Airsense 10 CPAP, ResMed DC/DC converter, Two Powersonic 18ah SLA batteries in parallel (36 ah) Battery Minder smart 12v charger. I turn off humidifier and heated hose. Just gave me 3 nights CPAP power, end voltage was 12.35 volts after 3 nights. Might have gone another night. I keep batteries connected to charger continuously when not in use. BTW, I use two of the same SLA batteries in my mobility scooter. Might find a way to plug ResMed DC/DC converter into scooter battery pack, same 24 volts DC. I use this setup for short stay motorhome "boondocking" and for power outages.

I don’t know about that particular unit but you really want to make sure the power supplied is pure sine wave for delicate electronics such as ventilators, they are very sensitive electronics and they cost a fortune, you really don’t want to risk damaging it.

[@Tocimah]

the people from Resperonics state that if you use an inverster with pure sinewave you void your warranty of your cpap. they suggest deep cell marine battery.

[@tinaroyce5498]

Really? What do people tend to do for camping? I don’t want to lug around a heavy marine cell battery?

[@SteveSmith-wb8nl]

Thanks for the video, just went thru 3 nites in Tumwater WA with no power. I’ll be ready next time without breaking the bank. Much appreciated.

[@en2oh]

It looks like the pack has a built in inverter. If all you’re interested in keeping the machine on during power failure, you don’t need the DC adapter but when in UPS mode, is there a constant beep to announce the UPS mode?

[@30dgal]

Please keep the sexy camping battery videos to a minimum - this is a family safe channel! :) Thank you for this video, years ago after Sandy we lost power for a week and this gadget would literally be a lifesaver if that happened again!

[@Freecpapadvice]

Hmmm....AitTouch vid tomorrow morning may be a problem. There is a glimpse of some “dad bod”. Should have used the viewer friendly KZbin cat.

[@brianwest3816]

I use the MAXOAK MULTI-function power bank. tested it for seven days without water tank. recording battery usage per night and still had just over 50% left. it has a 82500 mAh/297Wh. With a out put of12v @ 5A- 15v @ 4A- 24V @ 4A. Comes with adpt. cables for most popular cpap's. You can not take it on a plan. Do not remember price. 4 ponds.

[@benisplayin]

great informative video. Im in California and a severe c pap patient... SCE has cut power 5 times in the last week with windstorms raging... I was looking at a solar battery back up system costing into the thousands...I can buy this for about the cost of take out...NICE to say the least.THANK YOU>

[@en2oh]

You should look at boost-buck converter module. A specific 12vdc to 24vdc is less than $10.

[@stephenshortland]

Firstly, Love your videos, have learnt a heap about cpaps. So I recently purchased a similar one of these, it was the AIMTOM 155w. I have the Resmed Airsense 10 Auto. Also purchased the DC Adapter. Silly me went camping without having tested it. Evern with humidifier turned off, I only got 3.5 hrs out of the AIMTOM before it was dead flat. Thankfully people nearby had an inverter and extension cored so we tapped into their power.

[@Freecpapadvice]

Watts don't matter. It's the mAH or watt hours. Its more a measure of the power output and how long it lasts for said output.

[@stephenshortland]

@@Freecpapadvice Hey,, So I figured out it was my mistake. Newbie error. I had turned the humidifier off but did not realise I had to turn off the tube temperature. I have the climate control tube and it was still on. Used the Aimtom last night with both humidifier and tube temp off, got through an 8 hr sleep and the battery is still almost fully charged. I plan to run it for a few nights to see how long it lasts.

[@tinaroyce5498]

Stephen, I am new to CPap and also have an Resmed Airsense 10.... just realized with tropical storm coming (first threat since I’ve only had my machine less than 2 months) that I don’t have a backup for my machine. What did you end up purchasing that worked best, do you use something different at home for outrages? And does it have uninterrupted power ? Thanks

[@tinaroyce5498]

I want to find the most versatile option, that works best, at least expense with quality ( who doesn’t?) We also tend to go camping and have been for 5 nights, but I have not been this year since having machine.

[@stephenshortland]

@@tinaroyce5498 Hey Tina. I purchased the aimtom 155w portable power machine. But this was specifically for camping. With humidifier off and heated hose off I get 2 nights if lucky. However this probably isn't your best option for home. For home you would be better at looking at a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) that you can keep connected to the machine at all times to cover you when there is power outages. I'm not and expert on these so recommend you speak to a local battery place or someone that specialises in these.

[@microtrekfpv6496]

Great video. Helpful. I have a Dreamstation DSX500. Which DC converter do I need? Some of your links no longer work btw. Thanks!

[@redone823]

whats your Dreamstation DSX500 review? would you buy it again if you did it over? thanks.

[@fleabitz1474]

Thanks for your clear explanation. One night my power went out and I spent a half hour breathing into a dead machine before I finally woke up. Can we use this as an uninterrupted power supply, meaning plugged in all the time?

[@Freecpapadvice]

Yes. I think I showed that in the video. There is a UPS mode just for this purpose.

[@fleabitz1474]

Thanks, I was so focused on figuring out the whole ac/dc thing that I must have missed that.

[@hondaridgelineenduser5934]

I plan on getting one and getting a solar panel just to use it for my responics system one. When storms hit where I'm at in rural Alabama I'd use this shit. And I have a offgrid location I'd use the cpap machine hooked up to a battery power and solar to stay in business for days

[@msnpassjan2004]

I have a Paxcess, on AC mode it will last 3 hours max with the humidifier/heater off on a Resmed Airsense 10.

[@tomzifertomzifer6944]

I am looking for a backup power supply to provide uninterrupted power to the cpap machine. Always plugged into the wall and with the cpap connected to the backup. The backup sensing a power outage automatically converts to the battery supply to provide power to the cpap.

[@AXNJXN1]

Yikes!! ResMed has now up'd these DC cables to $127.00!! Absolutely ABSURD! (CAO 18 May 2024)

[@cindywatkins35]

I bought a marine battery used for $50 and used it on my old CPAP. Worked great. But it did not work on my newer CPAP machine. The marine battery is HEAVY and the adapter with the alligator clips does not work for my newer Respironics machine. Still looking for the adapter. Next time show the end of the connector.

[@Freecpapadvice]

Check to make sure that the adapter is the correct one for the machine.

[@seniorlocalguide]

Can you show the UPS set up for seamless backup (auto-switch) in case power goes off while you're sleeping?

[@Freecpapadvice]

For this unit there is a UPS button you press. That's it.

[@edsnyder406]

Hi there, I live in Portland, Oregon and when I went to the link in Amazon I got this “Currently, there are no sellers that can deliver this item to your location”. Do you know of an alternative source or what is going on here with Amazon? Thanks, Ed

[@Freecpapadvice]

I think that it's probably been discontinued. Not sure. I have a video on a Baldr unit that is greater capacity. Just search for it on my channel.

[@JuanaMeloUnicEducation]

Hi Sir, maybe I'm doing a damn question, this product says that the DC output is 12V, but the resmed air10 is 24V, it will not this effect and burn the battery or maybe affect the efficiency de of the cpap machine?

[@steveswoodworking2504]

You need a DC power converter to convert 12v to 24v. The link Jason has in the video description doesn't seem to have it any longer. You can find them on Amazon. For example KFD has one that specifically mentions it is for Resmed machines for far cheaper than the Resmed one. Maybe Jason will add one of his Amazon affiliate links for this.

[@BrokeAgain]

Thanks, looking for a nice CPAP battery... I have the resmed airsense 10.

[@sidvishus7700]

Hi, I have the Respironics Remstar Auto A-flex System one, it comes with one of those inline power bricks. Will this Power Supply unit work with my machine? And I would be using it as a UPS plugged in 24/7 in case of a power outage, which adapter would I need to run on the DC mode? I'm assuming The "Power Brick"would remain inline in AC mode but will it be in DC mode?

[@5610winston]

I use a Respironics RemStar with heated humidifier (necessary, I do not tolerate low humidity), old school. The AC adapter transformer shows 100-240v, 1.70 amps. I have Georgia Power service (if 'service' is the word) that has gone out several times in the past few weeks, always overnight, and always for four hours or more. I'm just looking for a UPS I can plug my machine into on AC mode inside my house so I don't have to go out and sleep in my truck plugger into an inverter with the engine running. .

[@DuckingAround58]

Thank you for the video and the info. I am new to CPAP, I have only had my resmed airsense 10 autoset machine for two weeks. I live near Seattle and with winter coming so are power outages Is there any reason/ way the battery could short out my CPAP or void the warranty? Thank you

[@Freecpapadvice]

You have the power supply that should regulate the flow of electricity, so all should be fine.

[@DuckingAround58]

@@Freecpapadvice Thank you

[@amyhoshor2540]

I'm not sure why you say using the 12V DC output on the Paxcess battery pack is twice as efficient as using the 110AC output. Is it because the output of the Paxcess battery pack (presumable the native 12V DC from the pack's battery) is only going through 1 voltage conversion instead of 2? That is: 12V DC to 110 AC to 24V DC required for the Resmed 10 versus 12V DC to 24V DC? Thanks

[@Freecpapadvice]

I don't think I said "twice as efficient", but if I did it was a mistake. It is more efficient though. I'm not sure why, but the lack of voltage conversion is the likely reason.

[@msnpassjan2004]

The Will Prowse channel answers that question.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Ok, I have an Airesense s9. The Dc converter is like $90 cdn and a decent Chinese battery is going to cost almost $250-300. Would I not be better off buying something like the Maxoak K5 that comes with the DC cables and I can get on Amazon for like $330 cdn? Just wondering cause nobody really covers dc vs ac and humidifier vs not on these products. I know you did that other vid I've seen but damn the info out there is confusing as hell. Is everyone basing their stats on basically using the CPAP with the AC plug and a humidifier? It's a little shocking to see how much longer you can get out of a CPAP using dc. Also, do you know or where I can find the amp rating of a ResMed S9 without a humidifier? I can find the info on newer machines but my S9 there is very little that I've found.

[@pattiricotta6770]

Hi, I work in East Africa from time to time. I'm leaving soon on my 1st trip since using a CPAP. On my last trip, there was "real" electricity only about 4 days out of 30. My hotel will run a generator for me about 4 hours in the early evening to power up my devices. Can I power up this battery on 240 current without using a "step down" converter and only using a simple AC plug adapter? And, is it TSA approved for international flights? I need to know quick since I'm leaving next week!

[@tammymeier9157]

Thanks a bunch for the video. Super helpful info.

[@wtfchhc]

Thank you so very much for this video. I ordered one of the units. Question: will one of the dc adapters you can use in a car work and just plug the ac power into the adapter?

[@ericball6652]

If you are asking if you can plug into an Inverter outlet that some cars now have, sure. Just be aware it will leave you with a dead battery. If you get the device specific adapter and plug into a cig lighter, you will get a lot more from your car battery.

[@-zach-crook-]

Holy Balls, Thiccc boi. It’s $279 now. No thanks. I have the Anker PowerHouse II 800. Plenty of power but not good for a UPS. I need something that I can keep plugged into the wall and my ResMed plugged into it and it will keep my CPAP powered without accessing the battery on a daily basis thereby draining the overall life of the battery.This looks like a good option barring the price. Any ideas? The Medstrom is a good option barring the low capacity / high price. Also, I DO NOT want to sacrifice the heated tubing nor the humidifier in the process. I want a true UPS with enough capacity for a full night (~350 wH).

[@costa9091]

Great vis. Thanks.

[@S-S-B-D]

I have a question. I bought the CPAP battery Pack generator you advertised on this video through Amazon along with the ResMed S9 DC Cord Converter. My Resmed machine is the S10 series. Will the S9 DC cord work with the S10 cpap machine while using the backup generator?

[@Freecpapadvice]

I don’t know for sure, but I would guess no. I thought the System One would work with the Dreamstation and it didn’t even kinda work. This is similar in that regard. I think I had the S10 adapter link on there too. You can go through my video sponsor and get 15% off too. “Lefty15”

[@cebruthius]

How much Watt-hours capacity is the Alibaba unit?

[@Freecpapadvice]

150Watt Hours

[@MOOCHZ1LLA]

Anyone running the Resmed Airmini with one of these battery packs? I just purchased the DC adapter (waiting for delivery) to purchase a battery pack.

[@msnpassjan2004]

I have a Paxcess. It last 3 hours max on AC. Buy a Jackery 500 for $500 will last 8 to 10 hours on AC. Or maybe the CPAP.com battery.

[@davidpummill6375]

CONFUSING AS CAN BE. STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET PORTABLE POWER TO A RESMED

[@ad3781]

what's the name of this unit???

[@hondaridgelineenduser5934]

I've seen people on KZbin use this method and add a solar panel to it.

[@jack6539]

Well done. Great vid. I just did my research and bought a similar unit (a suaoki s270). Now I guess I bneed to scrape together another 100 for tge resmed s10 dc adapter. One thing I have been reading is that the humidifier apoarently might get cooked unless the power supply works in some sinewave form. Apparently the heat plates are reliant on a special cycle or something. I'm not sure if its dated info, but I guess I will find out...

[@theilliniguy]

Great video but the Paxcess 100 is no longer available! Do you have a 2nd choice?

[@Freecpapadvice]

I did a video on the Baldr 330. It's larger and has a bunch of extra great features.
