What brand of airline approved battery do you use for Dreamstation?

What Brand of airline approved battery do you use for Dreamstation?

I had been using Freedom CPAP battery (version 1) since 2019. Recently upgraded to Dreamstation 2 and unfortunately the battery isn't compatible with my new machine. The Freedom CPAP v1 was compatible with my old Philips System one machine.

What airline approved battery do you recommend?

Unfortunately Power stations like Jackery are too big to fly.

2016: AHI 0.9 | BP 122/81 | SpO2: 96.5%

Stranger: How things been goin'?

You don't say why it isn't compatible?
Could it be it needs a different power cord?

I contacted the manufacturer. Version 1 had a barrel ended cord for Dreamstation that had to be ordered separately. it's no longer available. Version 2 now uses a cord that uses USB C to connect to the battery.

Have you searched in the after market for a cord adapter? https://www.google.com/search?q=battery ... e&ie=UTF-8

I don't own a Dreamstation, but the Medistrom 12V version (make sure you get 12V) sounds like it fits the bill - its sold by cpap.com so you can clarify with their support team to confirm it works. I just ordered the 24V version for my Redmed unit and like it a lot - it also works as a battery backup to keep unit working during a power outage. I found a cpap.com coupon code online that saved me like 20-25% (I can't recall the code, something to do with spring)
