I ask, because you can make an adapter cable that you can measure current draw, unless that's show on the maxoak display.polyborus wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 6:57 pmI have forwarded this entire thread to my girlfriend. I will ask her what color her humidifier light is. For running our resmeds on DC, We both use the 3 pin to barrel plug cord that Maxoak supplied (their Maxoak5 battery is geared to CPAPs). This cord id specifically labelled by Maxoak with an attached tag on the cord :"For Resmed s9".
Not really. If it's a faulty humidifier on her side, and she *thinks* it's on and heating, then swapping out the whole machine won't narrow down where the problem is.
And if you get her machine and change all the settings to be what you want, and it doesn't work for you, I guess you've proved it's your settings vs hers.
It is *IMPOSSIBLE* to get three nights of use out of one of those low watthour 'power banks' when using heated humidity.polyborus wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 6:57 pmMy complaint was made clear, I believe, in my first post. To reiterate: it appears we have the same model Resmed on the same settings. We have the same Maxoak 5 battery. The difference between our set-ups is she has a heated hose and I do not. She truly gets 3 nights. I have seen her battery numbers. I get 8 hrs.
You're getting what you should.
It's not a concern for her health if it's working for her, whether or not the humidifier is heating.
There's a huge gap between "you're mistaken" and "you're lying" but if you want to go the paranoid route, I can't stop you.
er, sure. maybe your friend has discovered the secret to cold fusion in her turned off humidifier.polyborus wrote: ↑Wed Jan 25, 2023 6:57 pmI would, however, like to close this reply with an observation I made very early in my own scientific career, solidified by a lot of reading in history of science: The words "This just can't BE", spoken either by the original observer or by would-be detractor scientific peers, have led to some of the most creative science and remarkable discoveries made by mankind.
Zonker, please to be passing the popcorn.
