I've read that having too high a pressure can potentially cause central apneas... I'm a bit supprised by your situation... Either you have really bad sleep study techs... or something is very odd... Are you sure your not experiencing a lot of leaking? Perhaps the higher pressure is compensating for ...

Previously I mentioned some of my lowest AHI numbers were on nights when I was dead tired... Someone else come along and gave link that explained how drinking Alcohol suppresses REM sleep... (or something to that effect)... On normal nights... I can see apnea activity ever hour to a hour and a half....

Oh... I forgot to mention the part about safety... I've never had a battery blow up on me... but do know folks who have had them blow up... Sealed type lead acid batteries are a bit safer then non sealed... Sealed types are sometimes called 'maintenance free'. Most car batteries are not sealed and/o...

Technically speaking (or perhaps morally speaking) I don't believe the automotive battery warranty would cover use in a installation other then automobile... Here is some text from a Parts America "A battery that fails because of improper installation, another faulty part, low fluid levels or other ...

The gadget freak in me has gotten the best of me... I just ordered a Samlex SEC-1215A from Ham Radio Outlet... ($120 free shipping). I guess it may take up to 10 days to get it... so it may be a while before I have much else to say about this thing... I'll likely start a new thread when I get it con...

Yes... if I do go with the Samlex thing I will be sure to make full report of how it all worked out... I spoke with a co-worker who IS a ham radio buff... asked him if he'd ever tried to buy a DC UPS, etc... He told me about a product sold by a company called 'Jetstream' model # JTPS14BCM , which co...

I've read most of what I could find on this site about battery power and/or UPS systems. I've not found anything about the Samlex device here. (even did a google search for samlex and/or specifically looking for it at this site and it yields nothing. Ham Radio guys know all about Samlex and/or many ...

Just a quick update on something I've just found... It's not a solution to the what to do when away from power issue, so much as it is a very interesting find I made while looking into battery chargers that might work well with Gel cell batteries... I found a DC power supply and/or battery charger t...

I do not know if it's at all related... probably not, but I'll tell you my recent story... I don't drink... however several night's recently I've been dead tired... My absolute best AHI numbers have been on these nights when I was most tired. Obstructive AI events at zero... and just a hand full of ...

Back to the original question... and/or when one has gotten to the point where Lead Acid Battery is decided upon as the battery of choice for a long time away from power... (in this case, it doesn't mean you will be a long way from a vehicle)... I've been shopping for batteries... I want at least 40...

The smallest capacity battery that will get you by for a 8 hour sleep is about 12 amp hours... To recover that kind of power during a single period of day light you will likely need a solar panel that's at least 10 watts, more likely at least 15 watts. Panels able to put out that kind of power are a...

I don't know if it will 'train' you to keep your mouth shut... but many people use surgical 'paper tape' to tape their mouths shut at night. My Dr thought I might have been opening my mouth I wound up taping my mouth shut for a few days, still woke up frequently so I'm pretty sure I'm not really ope...
