Kind of off topic sorry. Have you guys noticed any degradation in battery life in colder temps? If so how did you solve that problem? I took a drive to Mexico and back January-March. There were a couple of cold (30-ish F) nights driving through Oregon and Nevada. I was camping in my pickup truck ca...

Some reasons I chose the Z2 over Airmini: - Cost is lower for Z2 - Power requirements (the Z2 runs on 15V) - Z2 does not need special mask or adapters - Z2 was available at the time I needed it (picked the last one up at local Norco for under $500 in April). I looked at cpcp.com and it seems the pri...

I'm back from my 14-night backpacking trip around Mount Rainier. The CPAP/battery combination worked as expected. Being able to continue sleep apnea treatment while camping improved the experience. The only problem I had was that the Z2 turned itself off a couple of times a night towards the end of ...

Just a quick check-in. I am on schedule for a 13-night backpacking trip around Mount Rainier on the Wonderland trail next week. I've only managed to do one 3-day backpack trip this summer and a bunch of overnight trips and car camp trips. As a result I don't have a lot to add yet: batteries are perf...

To keep the conversation alive... here are some of my results from trying out a number of battery packs. Initial conclusions: battery packs under 20000 mAh are not useful. A 20000 mAh battery might deliver 2 nights, 30000 mAh maybe 3-4 nights, 70000 mAh battery can deliver 8-9 nights. I use 20-25 Wa...

My results trying the Renogy GP-14 battery pack. Z2 Apap 7-9, zbreathe 2, Jacobparts 15V trigger cable: https://i.imgur.com/ZrCNVQW.jpg Not as many nights as at 12 volts, possibly there are things I can optimize to get another night or two out of the battery. Snow is melting in the mountains. It's t...

RobK, thanks for posting preliminary results. A couple of questions: Are you running the Z2 as CPAP rather than APAP? Do you know if this saves power? I see the Z2 reporting 7.5 or more when I wake so maybe I need to go CPAP 7 to reduce battery usage and increase hours of sleep. What other settings ...

That's better. Thanks. I should have had my coffee before asking

It is not working for me. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Imgur gives me an image URL : https://imgur.com/a/A7wv21G which works OK when I browse it. On this forum I try the image, the generated BBCode looks like this: [img] https://imgur.com/a/A7wv21G [/img] But I see only a broken image link in the...

How to create a table in a post on this forum?Quote glacierjay

Create the table on your PC. Snip it as a picture file. Put it on a host site like imgur. Post it here using the picture icon.

Thank! Exactly what I plan to do when I need a table.

RobK, I got 24 hours of sleep from the Baseus -- Night 1 [6 hours, 53% left, 21Wh measured] Night 2 [8 hours, 28% left, 24 Wh measured] Night 3 [10 hours, 7% left, 29 Wh measured) but then it quit. The meter seems flaky. As noted above, it took forever to solar charge but I unfortunately did not mea...

Hello, I'd like to put a table in a post on this forum (cpaptalk.com). I tried BBCode and HTML but no luck. I suspect I am missing a trick. Any ideas how to produce a table in a post? Thanks, Jay PS here's the simple BBCode I was trying: [table] [tr] [th]Battery[/th] [th]Hours sleep[/th] [th]Wh meas...

Interesting email this morning from Baseus: Battery Capacity refers to the capacity of the Li-ion battery inside the power bank. Rated Capacity refers is the capacity after power conversion. The rated capacity is affected by power conversion efficiency and is less than the battery capacity without e...

Hmm ... maybe you can't keep up forever but under ideal circumstances you turned a 3-night battery into a 5-night battery. That's worth something. My initial thought too. But the solar panel weighs more and takes more space than a second battery and doesn't get me to 13 nights. I did see a 42 watt ...

Quick update on solar charging. I've been working today with a ECEEN 30-watt solar panel and a Baseus Battery. I've been doing yard work and keeping an eye on the solar panel to ensure it is in full sunlight and facing the sun. I check it every hour to see how much the battery is charged. Conclusion...
