Resmed S8 DC Battery Guide.

I just found this recent article on using the Resmed S8 on batteries. It has information on air pressure settings versus recommended battery capacity, plus some other useful bits and pieces of info, including the use of humidifiers with power inverters etc.

The article is aimed at an audience in a 240V AC main power region, however, the advice is equally applicable for 120V AC mains power regions.

Seems a straight unmodified inverter is the way to go either that or they have their battery stats backwards. But it makes sense, inverters are not very efficient.

I also noticed you guys have to pay $305 for a Resmed UltraMirage Full Face??

I bet if they had their way here they'd do the same. Sorry, but there is no way that mask is worth that kind of money.

I'm sure if you open your mouth just a tad wider, you will be able to fit both feet in there!

The price on that web site isn't in US currency and its just one offer from one supplier.

CPAP.com sells that mask for US$199.00 In Australian currency that's ~A$265.

This web site http://www.apneashop.com.au sells that mask for A$269.
