One Month In

Post by Kota5 » Fri Jun 29, 2018 5:56 pm

I have been using my machine for a little over a month now. I don't wake up as refreshed as I did on the night of the titration, can I blame that on the environment i.e. dogs and kids that make noise when I'm tying to sleep, and my wife that snores like a freight train (who is getting tested for sleep apnea next month)? I know I have the brick model of the airsense 10, I requested the auto or elite version but insurance wouldn't approve it.

I'm going camping with the boy scouts in a couple of weeks, and trying to figure out the way to use my machine while I'm out at the camp. I have a Webetop 155Wh 42000mAh Portable Generator Power Inverter Battery 100W that I've had for using during hurricanes. If I were to get a Power Inverter 400 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC. Would this work the same as getting the DC power cable? I don't believe I will be doing much camping I was asked to cover two days for the scout troop for church because nobody else could get time off. But I don't want to buy something I will only use one time. Thoughts?

You were lied to, Insurance doesn't care whether you get the data or auto version, they pay the same amount no matter which Airsense10 you get.

Using an inverter will usually cut your runtime in half.

If you're using something that has an inverter, then you're converting battery to 110v, and then converting that back down to 24v.

Using the converter to go from 12 to 24v directly is about twice as efficient, which means you get twice as much runtime on the battery.
