Re: Any use for old machine?

If at all possible I always encourage people to not toss a still working old cpap machine in the trash because we never know when someone might come here and be in critical need for ANY machine...no matter the age or the model or the hours on it. A lot of those places that do dispense machines to p...

Re: What off the shelf portable power source for air sense 10?

I agree now. An external power source to run cpap machine. My recommend to use starter battery is stupid.
I wishes you all well.
Jake00, happy camping.

Re: What off the shelf portable power source for air sense 10?

I am sorry If you think my recommend is bad. So you should not use the car starter battery for running CPAP machine when going camping out door. I just want to share my thought. Have a nice day to all.

Re: What off the shelf portable power source for air sense 10?

Yeah, limited budget is difficult. I would go with a car battery. Or even just use it from the battery in the vehicle he drives to the camp. Just start the vehicle every day to charge the battery . He does not need to buy extra battery just for going camping once awhile. The advice to just start th...

Re: What off the shelf portable power source for air sense 10?

Awhile ago I was trying to configure some Milwaukee batteries to run my cpap. While I still want to make that work, I’m looking for an off the shelf solution 3-5 nights would be ideal. I would get a 50Ah LiFePO4 Battery Deep cycle lithium iron battery and a 12volt DC-DC converter for your CPAP mach...

Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.

Hello every one. I have been reading this forum for a while, but now I register to post something about using CPAP machine. Back to 2007 or so, I went to a dentist and I was snoring so loud while she worked on my tooth filling. She told me I got sleep apnea. I did not know what was it. I did not eve...

Re: Fuse Size for Battery Backup

I think the CPAP machine can load up 90w, or the 12v DC converter out put up 90W. So the 12V battery at full charged is 12.6V, with 90W it would draw less than 10A. (W=V x A). you can get 15A fast burn also ok. I bought KFD DC car charger travel adapter, it rate 12A input. So I used 15A regular fuse...
