I don't have a solution for power-up AirMini
with a USB port power bank. But I do have a similar need - How to power-up AirMini on a power bank? I bought RedMed AirMini
CPAP a year ago for my business
travel. Since then, It has been a "must" gear when I go to Asia. The only problem is I can't use it for a long flight. I started looking for a solution online. The most of battery pack designed for
CPAP are all above $300. On the other hand, It is hard to find regular battery pack offers DC output up to 24V
with decent power rate. The second best option is those products
with AC output. But that also means I have to carry an AC adapter onboard airplane. Moreover, the AC adapter also takes some juice off when doing power conversion. When
traveling, I want to pack as light as possible therefore bringing an extra AC adaptor just for the battery pack is also out of question. Until I found the Omni Mobile 25600mAh. It comes
with DC 5.5x2.1 power jacket. All I need to do is to buy a DC jacket adapter power cable ( $29.95) for AirMini. Now I have a perfect solution – I spend less than $180 (
with tax and shipping) to turn on AirMini in the airplane without carrying AC adaptor. This unit offers almost the same power capacity ( 92Wh vs. 95Wh) at the exact same weight but $160 less comparing to P_t 24. I made a mockup of P_t 24 to compare the size between two products. You can judge by yourself. Best of all, it can be recharged
with any standard USB AC charger
with USB-A to USB-C cable (come
with the unit). I actually charge it
with my Lenovo ThinkPad P52s AC adaptor which comes
with USB-C PD port. Not to mention all other features as a battery pack should have ( USB-A QC-3 port x2, USB-C, and wireless charger). Even within all OmniCharge products, I think Omni Mobile 25600mAh is the best product that balances the power capacity and features for
CPAP application and the cost.
With its DC output, there is no reason it can't work
with other
CPAP models running at either 12V DC or 24V DC. All you need to do is to find the proper DC power adapter cable ( from 5.5 x2.1 DC male) to your machine's power receptacle. I bought my Omni Mobile from their Amazon store and received it the very second day
with Prime shipping service. I hope this info helps people who are also looking for
CPAP battery solution
