Re: power draw difference in Resmed s9

Thanks as10fh. I have an airsense 10 w/ heated hose for home use. Not sure what you mean that the "temperature set with the heated hose is the maximum temperature". When I go to dial in my temp on that CPAP I see options through a large temperature range. I usually do about 68 degrees in a 55 degree...

Re: power draw difference in Resmed s9

To lyrinryan: Thank you ever so much for your detailed response. This is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for when I posted here. I'm currently buried in snow , but will soon shovel my way out to the van, retrieve my camping CPAP, unearth my voltmeter and have a look. Will relay the info to my...

Re: power draw difference in Resmed s9

to as10fh...thank you for responding. I'm not quite sure I understand your suggestion. Could you clarify? I am not currently using a heated hose on my camping CPAP though my girlfriend is

Re: power draw difference in Resmed s9

oops. Can't seem to find the amazon reviews I thought I posted about 15 minutes ago. I may have violated some policy by including a url link to Amazon reviews or perhaps my pasting in so much text exceeded my character limit (I'm new to the blog)...but if folks think a Maxoak 5 cannot last for multi...

Re: power draw difference in Resmed s9

Thank you. You did make one good point...we will trade the whole CPAPs on one night, then try trading only the water tank half (easily detachable) the next night. Of course we will continue to use the same settings, as we have been doing thru this 'experiment' (with the exception of temperature. Res...

Re: power draw difference in Resmed s9

Not in the least offended at at " the thought of peer review and scrutinizing of method, process and measurement." Those are the exact things I requested when I asked for suggestions in my original post. That original post could very well be read: "What we are seeing makes no sense to us. Can anyone...

Re: power draw difference in Resmed s9

I have forwarded this entire thread to my girlfriend. I will ask her what color her humidifier light is. For running our resmeds on DC, We both use the 3 pin to barrel plug cord that Maxoak supplied (their Maxoak5 battery is geared to CPAPs). This cord id specifically labelled by Maxoak with an atta...

Re: power draw difference in Resmed s9

She is definitely using the heated climateline hose that uses the special additional connector below the basic hose port on the humidifier half of the Resmed s9 H5i. I am using only what came with the CPAP: standard 6' hose, both ends the same, no electric contacts at one end. Unfortunately, one can...

Re: power draw difference in Resmed s9

At first I didn't quite believer her either, but she actually does get 3 nights. When we traded batteries just to see if mine might be defective, she returned mine after a 10-hour night with 73% charge left. I ran hers down to zero in a scant 8 hours. So it seems to be the CPAP, not the batteries My...

power draw difference in Resmed s9

I have a Resmed s9 elite H51 (standard hose not heated hose) that I use for camping since it draws less power on my backup battery pack than does the Resmed 10 I use at home. I have a camping friend who also has sleep apnea and uses the same model Resmed s9 but with heated hose. We have the exact sa...
