The worst part is sleeping so poorly, you don't have dreams at all. Jim That was my experience. I stopped dreaming when I was a kid. I remember my dad joking that bears chased him in his sleep whenever he ate liverwurst. I ate it just to see if I would dream and I didn't. He passed away when I was ...

How many ounces of water does the M series hold? I just checked them both. The old style "tank" holds 1 2/3 cup of water. The M Series holds 1 1/3 cup. While I was at it I weighed them as well. The Tank (Remstar Pro 2) weighs 5 pounds and 11 ounces, while the M weighs in at 3 pounds and 9 ounces. B...

Re: tank or M ?
I can't speak to the M series, but I love my tank, and would buy another one if I was looking for another machine. It is sooooooooo quiet. Good Luck My "loaner" was a tank while I waited for the M series that was on order. The M makes about half as much noise as the older one, though both are quiet...

Here's a link that I've posted a few times before. http://www.sleepreviewmag.com/article.php?s=SRM/2006/07&p=8 I think you should change your study to "How many people had sleep deprivation in the years leading up to their onset of OSA?" Or leading up to weight gain? I've had sleep problems and lou...

Starting batteries (for motorcycles or for cars) are not rated for amp-hour capacity because they are not intended for deep cycle use. Sure, they will work for that purpose, but not for long. Therefore, they carry no amp-hour rating. True deep cycle batteries are not rated for cold-cranking-amps, b...

So is there any reason not to use a jumpstart pack? If I understand this right, and I doubt I do (lol)...I can run a plug from my M Series to a cigarette lighter port on the jumpstart unit. I can still use the humidifier attached to the cpap as usual (as long it is not plugged in) as a passover (wh...

What version of the software do I need for my M Series.....
Bipap Auto??
And does anyone have it or a reader they no longer use? I'm interested in purchasing either.
Reader must be USB, none of my computers are old enough to have serial ports. All of them also run XP Pro.
Thank you.

I disagree about Paypal protection. The buyer has much more protection than the Seller. If you pay for something via Paypal, and aren't happy or don't get your item as stated, all you have to do is file a complaint with Paypal. Over 90% of the time, Paypal rules in your favor. It can be a big Scam ...

I've been doing a little more research. The Respironics $324 battery pack is a 14.4ah battery. They claim that the M Series will run 26 hours on a single charge. If that is true, then almost any of the battery jump start units that are so popular will do as well. For serious campers, the better ones...

[quote="ColoZZZ"]Even though I will most likely get a sealed lead acid battery (SLAB), how do you find out how many Amp-hours a regular motor cycle battery has? The staff in the auto parts store were pretty clueless with the question ("...a guy asked me that once...") and there was nothing in the ba...

[quote="leonardlake"]My 150cc motor scooter has a 9Ah battery. Standard is probably more like 12Ah. For car camping I use a fairly heavy jump starter that has cigarette lighter socket and an 18 Ah battery inside. It has run my PB 420S for three nights without a recharge. I have not attempted to use ...

Does anyone know roughly how many Amp Hours are in a standard motorcycle battery? It depends on the size. Most are smaller than you would expect. My Valkyrie has a 22a.h., my Yamaha XS1100 is a 21 ah, and the Harley V-Rod only has a 12ah. Most of them are tall and skinny, so they tip easily. Get yo...

..they sell a 5 amp solar charger that has a cigarette lighter end on it. Any solar panel array that was able to put out 5 Amps using the currently available commercial technology would be very large! The panel you linked to is a 5 Watt panel... you'd need 15 of them to get ~5 amps of charging curr...

I camp a great deal by motorcycle. If you have a store near you like Harbor Freight or Northern Tool, or something similar, they sell a 5 amp solar charger that has a cigarette lighter end on it. Pick up a plastic tool box big enough to carry your battery and a female cig. lighter socket. Drill a ho...
