airway pressure) devices; however, when used in conjunction with a power
inverter, they may also be used to power other small electronic devices
such as smartphones, iPods, laptops and iPads. See page 20 for additional
information regarding powering other devices.
Please note that use of the Battery Pack with a device that requires higher
wattage requirements may cause the Battery Pack’s internal circuitry to
shut off to protect from overrun.
COMPATIBILITY
Battery Packs are compatible with most makes and models of PAP
devices; however, some devices will require the additional use of a power
converter or power inverter in conjunction with the Battery Pack.
See pages 15-19 for information regarding your specific PAP device.
The DC Power Pigtail Cord or Connector Tips included with the Battery
Pack may not be compatible with your PAP device as some manufacturers
require the use of a specific DC cable with built-in fuses or special

Important Notes
RUN TIMES
Multiple factors will affect Battery Pack actual run times including, but
not limited to, device type, whether a power inverter or power converter
is used, pressure setting, and altitude. The use of heated humidification
or heated tubing will significantly reduce expected run times.
Average run times are based on Respironics System One and ResMed S-9
Series PAP devices with no heated humidification or heated tubing.
SINGLE BATTERY CONFIGURATION
Respironics & other 12V devices: 1-3 nights
*ResMed & other 24V devices: 1-2 nights
DUAL BATTERY CONFIGURATION
Respironics & other 12V devices: 3-5 nights
*ResMed & other 24V devices: 2-3 nights
*Use of a power converter or power inverter required.
RESMED DEVICE WARNING
If you are using any device manufactured by ResMed you must use either
a power converter or power inverter to complete the connection between
the device and the Battery Pack.
A power converter or power inverter must be used because ResMed
devices operate from a 24V direct current and the plugs may run opposite
polarity from other manufacturer devices.
Do not connect the Battery Pack directly to any ResMed model device
as doing so will damage the device.
See pages 16-17 for additional instructions regarding ResMed devices.

5
HUMIDIFIER USAGE
The use of heated humidification or heated tubing will significantly
reduce the expected run time of the Battery Pack due to the amount of
power required for the humidifier heating plate.
To obtain optimal Battery Pack performance we recommend you forgo the
use of heated humidification. Using cool or “passover” humidification will
not reduce expected run times.
Please note that some manufacturers do not recommend the use of
humidification when an external battery is used to power their device or
they may recommend the use of a modified or pure sine wave power
inverter in conjunction with the battery. Please check the manual for your
specific PAP device for disclaimers regarding humidification usage.
POWER BACKUP USAGE
Standard smart chargers keep the Battery Pack topped off and ready to go
as an emergency power backup during power outages.
If you know that a power outage is eminent or probable, you may connect
your device to the Battery Pack and plug the Battery Pack into a wall
outlet. In the event you lose power the Battery Pack will automatically
begin powering your device.
Do not consistently use the Battery Pack as a power backup option as
this will reduce its overall life. Only use the Battery Pack in this
manner when you know that a power outage is eminent.

alternating current (AC). Power inverters are universal and can be used
with any device. Using a modified or pure sine wave power inverter in
conjunction with the Battery Pack allows you to:


Power Devices Without DC Capability
To power a PAP device or other small electronic device that does not
have DC capability, you must use a power inverter to complete the
connection between the device and the Battery Pack.


Charge the Battery Pack in a Vehicle
The use of a power inverter in conjunction with the Battery Pack
AC Power Supply allows you to safely and efficiently recharge your
Battery Pack via the cigarette lighter (power) socket of a vehicle.

CONNECTOR TIPS
If your PAP device can be connected directly to the Battery Pack
(Respironics and DeVilbiss PAP devices) you will need to insert one of the
provided Connector Tips into the end of the DC Power Pigtail Cord in order
to connect the PAP device to the Battery Pack.
Locating the appropriate Connector Tip for your device:
Compare the Connector Tips provided with your Battery Pack to the
tip of the PAP device AC power supply. Choose the Connector Tip that
you feel most closely matches.
Locate the DC input port on the PAP device.
Try to insert the Connector Tip you have chosen into the DC input port
of the device. The Connector Tip should insert easily - do not force it.
Make sure the Connector Tip sits securely in the DC input port. If the
Connector Tip is loose try another one as you want to avoid using a
loose Connector Tip if there is a better match.
Once you have found the best fitting Connector Tip, insert it into the
female end of the DC Power Pigtail Cord.
We recommend either keeping the Connector Tip you have chosen
inserted into the DC Power Pigtail Cord or storing it a separate place
away from the other Connector Tips so it can be easily located when
you are ready to use your Battery Pack.
