Hi Lane, Sorry to resurrect on old post here. I've built my 35Ah battery for my wife's CPAP and its working well in testing, now I am looking to build a smaller 20Ah battery to be able to recharge electronics and blow up our air mattresses. This is what I am looking at and was wondering of your inp...

Since My AHI is 136, without the APAP &/0r VPAP, With it My AHI is 1 - 2, forgot the Exact #. I had 136 Apneas Per Hour!! Before APAP. I am surprised that My Pressures weren’t 15cmH2O — 20cmH2O, not 4cmH2O — 8cmH2O?!?!? There is no direct correlation between sleep study AHI and the pressure needed ...

Four people (including you) on this thread either outright endorsed or said the Dreamstation was an OK choice, and your exact words were “they’re better than most other brands” so not sure how I blew off yours or others’ advice. In any event thanks and I do appreciate your passion. The DreamStation...

... There seems to be a reluctance to use ramp because it is understood ONLY AS A “comfort” feature. But it has a second very useful function. So... if you set ramp= 15 minutes, then for the first 15 minutes while you are falling asleep, events are not recorded. This true for both CPAP and APAP mod...

Has anybody actually measured the power consumption, or is everybody just going on the resmed battery guide? Yes. ResMed has measured it! So... No Too Funny! The official published data doesn't support your fantasy so you claim its not valid! This entire forum is built on being skeptical of "offici...

Thank you so much, Loki! Okay, so I've added a couple of the things you suggested: the final setup in my cart now is: ... This all looks good. As for measuring the battery state, that's always a problem. Voltage roughly corresponds to State of Charge, but there are a lot of variables so you really ...

You have two issues: first of all, the new Airsense uses almost twice the power of the S9. You don't mention your pressure setting, but at 10 it will use almost 100 watt-hours a night.

It's on my Wish list. My old Escape is slowing losing charge, meaning I need t re-charge it more often (every 2-3 months). I use an S9 and Amazon comments report up to 5 nights wo humidifier. I forget which version of the Goal Zero Escape you have, but the battery is generally replaceable for $35 t...

I have a "Super CPAP battery pack" Li-ion battery pack (model is C-222, spec'd at 222Wh) from about 7 years ago. This battery pack has 5 LED's for "state of charge" indication, 4 LED's for the level, and one LED that goes on only to indicate "low charge". This battery pack has been great while it w...

Here are some suggestions. Does anybody have anything to add to the list? Aren't these issues that would affect all hotel guests? Why does using a cpap make me so special? For a hotel to be CPAP-friendly, it should meet the following criteria: • A bedside night table large enough to accommodate a l...

Thanks Pugsy I don't know the mask just yet I am researching. The main issue for me is that I have been a stomach sleeper for decades not sure if there is anything out there for that. I do sleep with my head to the side but I am on my stomach most of the night. I appreciate the offer of the machine...

Asking for a friend. Her FitBit shows "awake" over one hour each night. But, she doesn't remember awakening any. She thinks she snores mildly. I've had the last several fitbit watches that record sleep - I've found them to be rather inaccurate for the details - it shows sleep if you lie very still,...

Variables won’t; constants aren’t. - Osborn’s Law

Thx for the feedback; newbie here so I need all the advice I can get. I need multi-night (3+) off grid operation for backpacking. So, it seems my choices are the Zopek (3# & $250) or two Z2 powered pack batteries (3.2# & $790). I think both have solar capability so, that may also be an option. For ...
