Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

This battery can happily drive the airmini... Look above - I show a picture of it driving the airmini ( using a $30 inverter) . The problem is the Airmini-DC-converter-- which does not play. It is nothing about "under load" or "not under load" .. The airmini DC converter does the same thing - even w...

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

How could your battery be made to specs for a product two years before it's marketed. Does not Compute! Also after two years it probably will not meet new specs. I have gotten a battery that was closer to 14 volts, so it would have had wiggle room. Jim Also voltage needs to be checked under load, w...

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

I found it -- here is the S9 flow numbers ... Comapre to Airmini above

Image

At 8cm H20 pressure -- I am getting way less air flow per minute than the S9 . And I really notice it..

The airmini is easier to travel with. But the S9 is much better.

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

I would think a "Travel Machine's", top plan would be to make travel easy.... Not So. The battery aside - I have used the Airmini in planes ( QANTAS from US to Australia happily provided me a seat with power socket - row 44 ). And it performed great. I travel alot with business. I have always taken...

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

Keep in mind this is a lithium ion battery pack. It is made up of 3 cells in series. The 11.1 volts is the voltage at mid discharge. Fully charged is 4.2 volts per cell which would give you 12.6 volts and that should work fine with your set up. Low voltage cut off is somewhere around 3 volts per ce...

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

Resmed as usual, and the buyer who didn't do their homework. Then there is the Battery owner that bought a non standard battery that couldn't put out a standard 12 volt range. Jim In this case - I already had the battery for a couple of years. And it works perfectly with the Resmed S9. It is market...

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

I dont think the connectors are exclusively for RESMED and for RESMED only....

The proof is here : https://buyminicpap.com/products/batter ... or-airmini

They are 3rd party.. They are not RESMED.. They have the connector on their cable. Case closed.

Yeah.. I know about that battery... But it doesn't help with my problem -- which is getting an existing C266 battery ( that I already own ) to work with the Airmini

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

The take home messages : 1. If you have a Resmed Airmini and you buy the Resmed DC converter for it -- DO NOT EXPECT it to just work with your existing cpap battery (without checking the battery specs). Even if that battery happily runs other Resmed devices. The reason is - the Resmed Airmini DC con...

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

I plugged the airmini's 65w dc converter into the socket in my car ( the airmini not attached ) -- and the indicator light glows green. Then I plugged the same dc converter ( again no airmini attached ) into the c266 -- and the light glows amber for 4-5 seconds then goes off. So - now I will go to ...

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

Have you tested the 65W DC converter using a vehicle 12V accessory plug? The only obvious explanation is that it is defective. You mean take it to the car, and plug it into the cigarette lighter ? hmmm.... good idea. I will do that when I get home from work tonight. If the DC converter is defective...

Re: Resmed AIRMINI and Battery

why did Resmed make the airmini dc converter "65W" anyway ?? when the wall a/c power unit for the AirMini is only "20W". Typical power consumption: 6.3W Peak power consumption: 27W This from here : https://www.resmed.com/au/dam/documents/anz/10110032-AirMini-Device-Fact-Sheet-ANZ-LoRes.pdf But ... ...

ZEO replacement Headband.. *Great Offer*

Ok - I made big mistake.. I feel like a dummy I bought the wrong ZEO headband replacement from from Amazon. I bought the "Bedside version" rather than the "Mobile version". The clips are in the different place so they are not interchangeable.. I bought the pack of 3 for $US49.95 plus shipping (to Au...
