What I want to know is if I have a 24v battery already, can I use it? Example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0748C6HZT/?c ... _lig_dp_it
This is a 24V battery with good specs. It also costs FAR less than the going rate on "made for CPAP" battery packs. The power supplies being used are pretty standard laptop ones and one of the adapters that come with the batteries should work. Can anyone tell me why it shouldn't? The Pilot 24 battery is a 24V version of their Pilot 12 that uses adapters for the AirSense 10 and the MiniAir. But the Pilot 12 connects directly. https://buyminicpap.com/products/batter ... or-airmini

I just bought the 24V version of this exact battery for $65 and this cable: Medistrom P24RAMDC (Google it and you can get it for under $15) and I can confirm that it does work with the AirMini. The cable isn't a perfect fit on the battery side, it wiggles a little but it makes a good connection and works really well. I haven't tested the capacity but I think I can get three or four nights out of the fully charged 82Wh battery. I have also ordered the Medistrom P24R09PLK cable that fits my S9 Elite.

UPDATE: This battery does not provide the 3.75A Output necessary to power the S9 with the Medistrom P24R09PLK cable, so I will look for a bigger battery to accommodate the 24V connection directly into the unit. It does power the AirMini just great, though.
