Re: Longer lasting power for tent camping
Real life updates on the battery. I used it for two weeks straight camping, charging it during the day while riding the motorcycle. I could never get it to charge over 66% off the bike charging system, but that was enough for two full nights of sleep. The wall charger provides 20V vs the approx. 16V from the bike, so that possibly accounts for why I could never get a full charge. Overall, I am satisified!
Re: Longer lasting power for tent camping
Hi All -
I promised an update earlier this year and was too busy camping this summer to do it. The battery I got was able to easily run my CPAP + Humidifier and usually ended up at ~ 70-80% charge remaining each night. Since those batteries are not supposed to drop below 50%, we charged the battery each day.
I have my Resmed S9 CPAP set on 10-12 auto and my humidifier at 4.5-5. I never tested it without a humidifier because that just isn't an option for my sinuses. I was pleased with the results, but the battery is definitely a beast to carry. If I didn't have a strong hubby around, I'd definitely be looking for an alternate solution.
Thanks to all here for input!
