CPAP Battery for Flight and More

Post by The Dogfather » Sun Jul 17, 2022 9:49 pm

Which CPAP battery best combines reliability (will work for at least one full night) and cost? I will be taking a round trip international flight soon (US to EU) and annually accompany a group of college students camping. May need humidifier camping. At present I do not need a battery more than one night at a time. Thank you.

For use during flight? I believe I saw some posts here where CPAPs could not be used due to covid masking requirements. Might want to check with the airline.

Absolutely check with the airline. Regulations are always subject to change. In the Before Times, some airlines allowed, some did not. Nowadays....

I just bought a Medistrom Pilot 24 Lite. (My CPAP uses 24V DC).
Very expensive, works great. Will take aboard future flights.
