airsense 11 and Freedom battery

Post by fm1520 » Fri Dec 29, 2023 12:28 pm

I just replaced my Airsense 10 with the 11. I am disappointed to see that they changed the power connector. The Freedom battery cable I used with the 10 wont work with the 11. I found a cable on the CPAP shop but they want $80. Has anyone found an aftermarket cable? Here is the one I found: https://www.thecpapshop.com/resmed-24v- ... nd-airmini

Thanks

That looks like a more complete set of cables - for both AS10 and AS11 - and it sounds like you already have the AS10 stuff.

Battery Power Solutions appears to have "re-branded" as "cpaphero" - I would at least try calling the 800 number and asking what options you have to get *only* an AS11 cable kit. It looks like they don't deal with consumers directly but it is their product after all. Who knows maybe you get lucky and get AS11 cable at a discount or something. I'm pretty much fed up with this changing power connector and ripoff adapter cables generally.

Exactly why I tell people to stick with the Airsense 10 instead of lusting for the *Latest & Greatest* - since any supplies they already have will fit a New 10. AND more supplies will be more available for less money if paying OOP.

It seems most don't use a DC cord but that is yet another reason not to change.
And everyone should have a DC cord to fit their cpap and a battery with a charger.

Changing the AC & DC cord is just another money grab for no reason.

Think of the spare items like the AC power cord (or water chamber) you will have when you stick with the same make & model.
