Optimizing for battery use

[Clizby]

Hey all,
I have an Airsense 10. In a few weeks, I'm going to be going on a trip that will require me to run off battery power, and I will have very sporadic and unreliable electricity. I know of a couple of things that will help with that, namely turning off the humidifier and also the hose heating. Are there any folks here who have had to do this and have any other suggestions to optimize the settings for maximum battery? I appreciate the suggestions!

Edit: I realized after I posted this that I had previous asked about options available for battery - Not trying to have a duplicate here, as at this point I have actually bought a battery! Sorry for any redundancy though.

The main thing to do is to get a power supply that runs directly from battery, not a 120 volt converter with the standard power supply. If you convert the battery to 120V then use the regular supply you will lose 25 to 30% of your power. There is a Resmed power supply for this, or there are 3rd party supplies that are much cheaper. I've used the 3rd party ones, they are fine. If you have a dedicated 24V battery none of this applies obviously.

Aside from that there's not much to do. The machine is pretty efficient without the humidifier and hose. Unplug it when not in use to eliminate the standby power.

For power failure protection for my Resmed Airsense 11 AutoSet I use an EasyLonger ES960 PRO which comes with DC-DC cables for a number of different CPAP machines. I also camp with my ES960 and get five full nights (40+ hours, average pressure 13.3 cmH₂O, no heat/humidity) on a single charge.
