Intended Use
Compa bility
All makes and models of PAP devices have diff erent voltage and electrical
current requirements which determine the type of external ba ery that
can be used. The universal design of the Freedom™ ba ery allows it to
power the most common PAP devices; however, some models require a
connec on component that is sold separately from the standard ba ery
kit (see page 1 for addi onal informa on).
Some older model PAP devices and targeted ven la on PAP devices may
not be compa ble with the ba ery or may require more power than the
ba ery can provide.
The use of the heated humidifi ca on and/or heated tubing features of
your PAP device will signifi cantly reduce expected run  mes by up to
two thirds in most cases and in some cases could actually prevent the
ba ery from being able to power the device. For op mal performance
turn off heated humidifi ca on and heated tubing.
Do not a empt to connect your PAP device to the Freedom™ ba ery
before reading the connec on instruc ons for your specifi c device.
If your device is not listed in this manual or if you have any ques ons,
please contact us at 1-877-445-5228 or info@ba erypowersolu ons.net.
The Freedom™ CPAP Ba ery provides external power to PAP (posi ve
airway pressure) devices when AC power is unavailable during travel or
power outages.
The Freedom™ ba ery may also be used to charge many common
portable electronic devices such as cell phones and tablets.
Use of the ba ery with a device that has higher amperage requirements
than the output of the ba ery (over 8A) may cause the internal circuitry
of the ba ery to shut off to protect from thermal runaway (overhea ng).
4

Average Run Times
Mul ple factors will aff ect how long the Freedom™ ba ery will power a
PAP device, including, but not limited to the PAP device type, pressure
se ng, heated humidifi ca on or heated tubing usage, and the required
connec on component type (see page 31 for addi onal informa on).
Run  mes are based on standard CPAP devices without the use of heated
humidifi ca on or heated tubing on a pressure se ng of 10 cm/H2O.
To increase run  mes two Freedom™ ba eries can be pigtailed together.
Single Ba ery: 1-3 nights* Dual Ba eries: 3-5 nights*
*A night is generally considered 7.5 hours.

INITIAL BATTERY USAGE
Before using the Freedom™ ba ery for the fi rst  me be sure to fully
charge it using AC power. It may only take a short  me for the charge
level to reach 100% as it is already par ally charged before it leaves the
factory. Only use the AC power supply manufactured by Ba ery Power
Solu ons for use with the Freedom™ CPAP Ba ery.
TURNING THE BATTERY ON/OFF
The Freedom™ ba ery turns on and off automa cally when a device is
connected or disconnected from the DC OUT jack. When connec ng a
device via the USB OUT port, the charge level indicator bu on must be
pressed once the device is connected in order to ac vate power output
from the USB OUT port. The ba ery will automa cally shut off when the
device is disconnected from the USB OUT port.
When not in use disconnect devices from the DC OUT jack or USB OUT
port of the ba ery to allow the ba ery to completely shut down.

Charging The Ba ery
The Freedom™ ba ery can be charged via AC power (a wall outlet) in
approximately 4 hours (per ba ery) when the ba ery is fully discharged.
The ba ery does not need to be fully discharged before charging.
Only use the AC power supply manufactured by Ba e r y P o w e r
Solu ons for use with the Freedom™ CPAP Ba ery. Using any other
power supply may result in a hazardous reac on. Do not charge the
ba ery on any fl ammable surface.
CHARGING INTERNATIONALLY
The AC power supply of the ba ery will operate on any AC current from
100-240VAC and 50/60 Hz without any adjustment. The AC power supply
u lizes a type A plug. An interna onal electrical adapter plug is the only
addi onal component that would be required for charging in any country.

ResMed S8 Series
DeVilbiss IntelliPAP & IntelliPAP 2 Series
ResMed S8 series devices operate from 12V direct current but the DC
input port runs opposite polarity from the Freedom™ ba ery; therefore,
the use of the 150W sine wave power inverter is required.
DO NOT connect a ResMed S8 device to the ba ery without using the
sine wave power inverter as doing so will cause irreversible damage to
the PAP device.
The connec on instruc ons will be the same as those in the Other PAP
Devices & Travel CPAP Models sec on on
pages 17-19. Instruc on sheets
with images are available at www.ba erypowersolu ons.net under the
"specifi ca ons tab" for the Freedom™ ba ery.
16
DeVilbiss IntelliPAP series devices can be connected directly to the

 DeVilbiss IntelliPAP 2
 3B Medical RESmart & Luna
 Apex Medical XT
 ResMed AirMini
 Respironics DreamSta on Go
 Somne cs Transcend
 HDM Z1
To power these other common PAP devices and travel CPAP models the
150W sine wave power inverter must be used in conjunc on with the
Freedom™ ba ery as noted in the instruc on example on the following
pages.
Instruc on sheets with images for the models listed above are available
at www.ba erypowersolu ons.net under the "specifi ca ons tab" for the
Freedom™ ba ery.
Due to the ini al power draw required to start some of these PAP device
models the connec on instruc ons should be followed in exact sequence
in order to prevent “tripping” the circuitry of the ba ery.
If the ba ery shuts down immediately or very soon a er connec ng it
to the device, reset the internal circuitry of the ba ery (see page 32 for
instruc ons) and follow the instruc ons again to ensure they have been
done in sequence.
If the ba ery con nues to shut down the device you are a emp ng to
power may not be compa ble (see page 32 for more informa on).
