So I have everything and am trying to give this set up a test run. I know this sounds like a dumb question, but I am having trouble figuring out how you connected the converter to the battery. Can you provide a little more explanation or a photo of that? Sorry I have not seen this post until now to...

Re: Camping with the cub scouts? resmed airsense and power tool batteries?

I agree I think those batteries would work. You could use with a DIY adapter but easier with a pre-built unit given the center pin voltage requirement. If I were to use them I would connect the dc/dc converter to a usb adapter for the battery such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Source-Milwauk...

Finally, magnetic clips for Amara View (DIY)

I should have done this earlier but did not have time. I know that Respironics had made some magnetic clips for the Amara View mask but I could not find them for sale.

Re: Trekking with Z1 APAP at high altitude 7 nights on battery $875, 5.85 pounds

This is extremely helpful. I have moderate sleep apnea and use a Z1 when I travel. I just plug it in. I am traveling to Machu Picchu on January, flying into Cusco, spending a few days there to acclimate and then doing the 4 day Inca trail hike. I will use an outlet at the hotel in Cucso (11,000 fee...
