Battery for BreateX machine

Post by AWK » Mon Sep 13, 2010 8:08 am

I was recently given a BreatheX CPAP that has never been used (the type with the collar). However the battery will not hold a charge. Does anyone know if a battery source is still available for these machines. I'm going camping on a motorcycle and would like to use the machine.

Make sure you plug it in correctly for charging. First plug into the CPAP and then the outlet.

It looks like that battery is hard to find. I don't know if you feel comfortable taking the battery apart enuff to get a make and model? Or if using an external battery is an option on that machine?

I seem to think Johnny made a post about that battery during this past summer.

Don't take the battery apart. You will not find a replacement.

I'm sure it is an issue of how it's being charged.
