FAQ | Troubleshooting
BATTERY STARTS THEN STOPS WORKS
If the battery stops functioning press the charge level indicator button to
reset the batteries’ internal circuitry. If the battery continues to shut down,
the device you are attempting to power may not be compatible.
The device may have higher amperage requirements (over 8A) than
the battery can provide.
The device may require a constant voltage output to operate properly.
The FreedomTM CPAP battery has a voltage range of 9V-12.6V DC and
does not maintain a constant voltage level.
The internal circuitry of the device may be set to automatically adjust
to accommodate for multi-voltage capabilities which could make it
compatible with the battery at times and incompatible at other times.
DUAL BATTERY CONFIGURATION
While both batteries are providing output power simultaneously the battery
with the highest charge level will generally be the one to display “DC
12V” under the battery symbol on the digital display screen.
Also note that due to the circuit board differences a Freedom™ CPAP Battery
cannot be pigtailed with an older model C-100 CPAP Battery.
USB PORT CONNECTION
When connecting a device to the USB port you must press the charge level
indicator button once to initiate output power from the battery. See page
27 for connection instructions.
PAP DEVICE CONNECTION VIA A 12V DC POWER CORD
While you can connect a PAP device to the battery using a manufacturer’s
12V DC power cord and the DC input cord included with the battery kit it
may only power the PAP device for a short period of time. This occurs
because these types of DC power cords typically require a constant 12V
power flow in order to work properly and the Freedom™ battery functions
on a voltage range. Therefore, 12V DC power cords are not a viable option
for connecting a PAP device to the Freedom™ battery.

The FreedomTM CPAP Battery Kit comes with the items listed below.
The following items are required to connect certain PAP devices to the
Freedom™ battery. These items are typically packaged separately and are
not included in the FreedomTM CPAP Battery Kit box.

FAQ | Troubleshooting
Below are the most common questions/issues regarding use of the
FreedomTM CPAP Battery. If you have additional questions please contact
us at 877-445-5228 or email us at [email protected].
LOWER THAN EXPECTED RUN TIMES
Several factors can impact how long the battery will power a PAP device.
Below are the most common of these factors:
The use of heated humidification or heated tubing will reduce run times
by two thirds in most cases and in some cases could prevent the battery
from being able to power the PAP device. You should disconnect the
humidifier or completely turn it off and use non-heated tubing to obtain
optimal battery performance.
If humidification is required, try lowering the humidification setting as
many people can lower their heat setting and still achieve the desired
result. If lowering the setting does not produce enough of an increase
in run time you can use the battery in the dual battery configuration
to increase the run time.
Very high pressure settings (above 18 cm/H2O) can impact run times
especially when other factors are present. All average run time testing
is done on a pressure setting of 10 cm/H2O.
Leaking masks can impact run times as the PAP device will be working
harder to maintain the prescribed pressure setting and thus be drawing
more power from the battery.
BiLevel devices will have lower run times as the pressure setting is
not constant and changes throughout the night requiring more power
to operate the device.
Some older obsolete PAP device models and newer targeted ventilation
PAP devices require a much higher power draw than today’s standard
CPAP devices and therefore can result in lower run times or could
prevent the battery from being able to power the device.
The device-specific connection components required for some PAP
device models do draw power from the battery but this has been
factored into the listed average run times.
NOTE: The included DC power pigtail cord and connector tips are compatible
with Respironics System One, Respironics M series and DeVilbiss IntelliPAP
series devices. All other PAP device makes and models will require an
additional connection component (see below).

Product Specifications
29
Understanding common phenomenon with rechargeable lithium-ion
batteries can help you better care for your FreedomTM CPAP Battery and
answer many common questions regarding usage.
Lithium-ion batteries do not suffer from the memory effects that are
associated with other types of battery chemistries. This means that
the battery does not need to be completely discharged before charging.
Upon initial use or after a prolonged storage period lithium-ion
batteries may require 3-4 charge/discharge cycles before achieving
their maximum capacity.
Lithium-ion batteries will self-discharge when unused; therefore,
the battery will need to be charged after a storage period. On average
the battery will self-discharge by 20% every 30 days.
The amount of charge lithium-ion batteries will hold will gradually
decrease due to usage and aging. Over time, the actual battery capacity
decreases as less and less active material within each lithium-ion cell
is available to electrochemically store a charge. This loss in capacity
(aging) is true for all rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.
It is normal for a lithium-ion battery and its AC power supply to
become slightly warm to the touch during charging and discharging.
Battery Care Instructions
Fully charge the battery before storage.
Store the battery in a dry, cool place away from extreme heat, direct
sunlight and metal objects.
If the battery is being stored for long periods of time we recommend
charging the battery to 50% of capacity at least once every 90 days.
Battery Storage

3
The FreedomTM CPAP Battery is intended to provide external battery power
to PAP (positive airway pressure) devices when AC power is unavailable
during travel or power outages.
The FreedomTM CPAP Battery can also be used to power or charge most
common portable electronic devices such as cell phones and tablets.
Use of the battery with a device that has higher amperage requirements
than the output of the battery (over 8A) may cause the internal circuitry of
the battery to shut off to protect from thermal runaway.
All PAP device makes and models have different voltage and direct current
capability requirements which determine the type of external battery that
can be used.
The unique universal design of the FreedomTM CPAP Battery allows it to
power most common PAP devices; however, some devices will require a
device-specific connection component that is sold separately from the
standard FreedomTM CPAP Battery Kit. See page 1 for more information.
Some older obsolete PAP devices and targeted ventilation PAP devices
may not be compatible with or may require more power than the FreedomTM
CPAP Battery can provide.
Reference the instructions in this manual for your specific PAP device to
determine which connection components are required. Do not attempt
to connect your PAP device to the FreedomTM CPAP Battery before
reading these connection instructions.
If connection instructions for your PAP device are not in this manual or you
have any questions about connecting your device, please contact us at
1-877-445-5228 or via email at [email protected].

Multiple factors will affect how long the FreedomTM CPAP Battery will power
a PAP device, including, but not limited to device type, pressure setting,
altitude, humidifier usage, and the required connection component type.
BiLevel devices will have lower run times as the pressure setting is not
constant and changes throughout the night requiring more power to
operate the device.
The use of heated humidification and heated tubing will significantly
reduce expected run times by up to two thirds in most cases and in
some cases could prevent the battery from being able to power the
PAP device. To obtain optimal battery performance we recommend you
forgo the use of heated humidification and heated tubing.
Average run times are based on standard CPAP devices without the use of
heated humidification or heated tubing on a pressure setting of
10 cm/H2O. To increase average run times the battery can be used in a
dual battery configuration by pigtailing two batteries together.

Power Backup Usage
The FreedomTM CPAP Battery can be used as a backup power supply for
your PAP device during power outages. You may leave your PAP device
connected to the battery when you sleep and in the event AC power is lost
the battery will automatically begin powering your PAP device.
Plug the battery into the wall outlet as if you were charging it.
Connect the PAP device to the battery via the instructions in this manual
for your specific device.
When AC power is available it will bypass the lithium-ion cells of the
battery thus preventing unnecessary cycling of the cells. In the event
AC power is lost the battery will recognize this lack of power flow and
automatically begin powering your PAP device uninterrupted.
When you are not using your PAP device disconnect it from the
DC OUT jack of the battery and unplug the battery from the wall outlet
so the battery can completely shut down.
If using in the dual battery configuration an additional DC power pigtail
cord will be required as one is needed to plug the batteries into the
wall outlet and the other to connect the batteries to the PAP device.
The FreedomTM CPAP Battery meets current FAA requirements for spare
lithium-ion batteries (batteries not installed in a device) taken in carry-on
baggage as each battery is less than 100 Wh (97.68 Wh) and is protected
from damage and short circuit.
Spare lithium-ion batteries are not allowed in checked baggage and must
only be taken in carry-on baggage. TSA security, individual airline, and
international rules may, at times, be more restrictive.
If you are planning to use the battery during flight it is recommended that
you contact your airline as they may have specific requirements regarding
the use of PAP devices and/or lithium-ion batteries during flight.

ResMed Air 10 & S9 Series Devices
ResMed Air 10 and S9 series devices operate from 24V direct current and
the FreedomTM CPAP Battery provides 12V direct current; therefore, the
use of a 24V power converter is required in conjunction with the battery.
Our 24V power adapter was designed specifically for use with ResMed
Air 10 and S9 series devices and the FreedomTM CPAP Battery.
REQUIRED COMPONENTS
FreedomTM CPAP Battery Kit
ResMed 24V Power Converter
24V RESMED POWER CONVERTER
The 24V power converter includes the converter box and two output cords.
Each output cord has a tag attached to it noting which device it fits -
either ResMed Air 10 or ResMed S9 series devices.
Set the converter box and the appropriate output cord for your device aside.
Do not connect the output cord to the converter box yet as the converter
box must be connected to the Freedom™ battery first. See the connection
instructions on the following pages.
