Best CPAP Battery Backup for Camping Wholesale Supplies

This battery worked fantastic for my CPAP. I bought it for a houseboat vacation where I knew we weren't going to have electricity available during the night. The battery lasted 2 full nights (plus time to spare) before I needed to charge it during the day. It charged very fast. Easy to use.

I needed a backup power supply for my dreamstation cpap machine. I love to camp in the summer time. I just spent two nights on the Buffalo River in northern Arkansas and the battery pack worked great. I used it for approximately six hours each night and still probably had enough charge left for one more. When I got home it only took a couple of hours to recharge it. Now I have the freedom to travel without having to worry about being tied down to an electrical outlet. I also ordered the car charger but haven't used it yet. I did not use the humidifier while using the battery pack.

The Medistrom "Pilot-12 Plus" backup battery for use with my Philips respironics Dreamstation. (According to the user manual that comes with the battery, they also make the "Pilot-24 Plus," which designed for use with the ResMed S9, ResMed AirSense 10, and the ResMed S9.) I received the battery from the Health Store N More in three days, which was much sooner than the projected delivery date. I did as Health Store N More suggested and sent them a message soon after ordering the battery and asked them to include with my order the free Universal travel plug. It is pretty decent, compact, and comes with a cloth bag for storage, so it is definitely worth requesting. The battery is very well made and a quality product. I received it fully charged and ready to use. It comes with a charger/plug to recharge the battery.
Three output cables are included for connecting the CPAP to the battery backup: (1) a general output cable and two changeable connector tips that will fit whatever CPAP device is being used; (2) a cable specifically for the Respironics DreamStation; (3) and a third cable specifically for the Respironics RemStar System One S60. Each cable is labeled accordingly for easy identification. A cloth sleeve is included for storing the battery when not in use. As you can see from the photo I have included, when you turn on the battery, a blue light comes on to indicate that the power is on.

Also, you can check the battery charge status by depressing a button that will display four green lights when the battery is fully charged. There is also a small LED flashlight. Not super bright, but it provides additional light if you need it for some reason and don't have a flashlight handy. I was able to use the battery for two and a half nights on a single charge without the humidifier in use. According to the user manual, using the CPAP humidifier while using the battery will discharge the battery much faster, so I am guessing that you would probably only get one night's worth of power if you decide to use the humidifier. Once the battery is nearing full discharge, an alarm sounds. I was surprised by that feature because I did not realize it had an alarm, but it is a definite plus! As the battery power depletes, the number of green lights that are displayed are also reduced accordingly with one green light displayed when the alarm sounded. After the alarm went off, the battery still had power and the flashlight still worked. However, I don't think you'll get much sleep with the alarm sounding :-) so charge up the battery after the second night of use. I plan to use the battery to power my CPAP when camping or otherwise traveling and do not have access to power. I highly recommend the purchase of this battery, which can also be used to charge your phone or similar device via the USB port.
