CPAP Batteries with humidifiers

Post by dragonboyc » Mon Mar 13, 2023 4:38 am

Hi,

My father would like to use a cpap battery as a uninterrupted power supply as peace of mind for his dreamstation 2 just in case of a power outage.

We got the phillips battery pack. It says it doesn't support the humidifier (non-heated) but I am not sure whether it means the battery life is just less or it disables the humidifier somehow. Does anyone have any experience with using a battery for a dreamstation with the humidifier?

Thanks.

Not using the humidifier will extend the life of the battery.

Using the humidifier will drastically cut the run time.
How little sleep can you bear?
