Bundle - Pilot-24 Lite CPAP Battery & Car Charger for ResMed Airsense 10, S9 and AirMini CPAP Devices

I bought a new Resmed Airsense 10 for home and retired my old Resmed S9 to travel duties. My setup is the S9 unit only (no humidifier), Resmed slimline tube, snuggle hose cover, HDM Z1 Heat Moisture Exchanger, and Philips Respironics True Blue nasal mask. The S9 is configured in CPAP mode with 7 cmH2O, slimline hose, nasal mask, ramp off, and EPR off. I have an old power bank that I had been using for camping which is not only heavy but required the massive 12v to 24v Resmed converter brick to use. I was looking for a lightweight solution for a night or two that I could also charge from my motorcycle on longer trips. I have tested this battery out for 6 full nights now and find it runs about 15.3 hours from fully charged to full shutoff (it has an alert beep right as it turns off). For me, that is just enough for 2 nights. It took exactly 3 hours to charge from full discharge to fully charged using the 90w Resmed adapter for my S9 and supplied adapter cable. After one nights usage (roughly 50% charge), it took 1hr 50min to charge back to full from my motorcycle (Kawasaki Vaquero) while riding around. One problem I noticed is that this stops charging if plugged in and already charging before starting the bike. This happens on both switched and unswitched 12v sources from my bike. The solution if this happens is to unplug and replug the battery which will cause it to start charging again. I tried quickly starting the bike from full off and battery using a switched source but the battery started and then stopped charging before the bike got going so there doesn't appear to be an easy way around having to re-plug it for me. This is more hassle than I was hoping for as it means every quick stop it will have to be re-plugged but I guess it will have to work until I figure out how to install a relay system or perhaps a manually switched source. The LED flashlight is not terribly bright but I guess it would work in a pinch. Seems like kind of a gimmick to me. I charged my phone (Galaxy S7) 4 times from about 40% to full and it didn't even knock 1 bar off a fully charged battery. So overall, I like the battery and am keeping it. I will eventually have to rig up a more robust system to charge it from my bike so that I don't always have to keep re-plugging it.

I bought this in case my area ever loses normal utility service. I charged it using my solar charging system and this battery ran my CPAP for 15 hours before needing to be recharged. If you can charge it at home, just unplug the charger from the back of your CPAP and plug it into this battery. It completely charges in just a few hours. You can purchase an additional charging cable if you want to travel without having to unplug your CPAP’s own charging cable. I can go camping again and still breathe while sleeping without my snoring keeping the entire campsite awake.

This is what I been looking for

purchased 7/24/2021; back up battery used 2 times as stand alone with no issues in July; used in conjunction with CPAP power supply for thru 9/1; in 9/2 could not use due to no charge; battery still in charging configuration. Disconnected all, changed out power strip (light and phone charger were working on strip), followed reset instructions for battery. Reconnected all and power supply shut off. Disconnected and reconnected all; battery flashed blue lights, quick beeping, and began to smoke from the power connection. Occurred in 1-2 seconds. CPAP runs fine on power supply; battery shuts down power supply if connected. Battery smells like electrical burn. Not a good experience but now have a $330 paperweight.

Finally got a chance to charge and use this it worked very well. Got an eight hour sleep, but by the morning, I knew that the battery was dying and I had to charge it so I know that I can at least get a good one night sleep charge it every night after I use it but that’s all I wanted it for and it does work. I actually brought this for an overnight flight that we’re going to Europe just in case I need to get some sleep on a plane this way my snoring or sleep apnea won’t keep everybody awake.

I bought it for an up coming cruise. Tried it at home first for a couple of days. Power from this lasts about 7 hours for my CPAP if I set the humidity to 2 out of 5. Higher settings will shorten the number of hours it will last. Recharges relatively quick. Full recharge took about 4 hours. Also great as a travel battery for other devices.*** Make sure you get the right power adapter for you CPAP model ***

I used this battery for my ResMed Air Mini (pressure is set at 7). I was going to be camping off the grid for a few days and I needed a battery to power my CPAP. I tested it at home first. Beginning with a full charge, it powered my CPAP for 19.75 hours before the battery was full depleted. I recharged the battery and tested it for a second time, and again got 19.75 hours of power.So far I am very pleased with this battery. I am hoping that it will last for many years and many camping trips.

The first Pilot 24 I received seemed fine. It charged quickly on my A/C cord (from my AirSense 10). Unfortunately it wouldn't power my AirMini. The cord fit but - nothing. Battery showed full charge, no juice gettting to the AirMini. Returned to Amazon for a replacement. My 2nd Pilot 24 arrived with some signs of wear on the case, plus cords loose and fully discharged. Obviously used. But I really needed a battery, so - it charged fine and ran my AirMini. It powered my AirMini for two (short) nights with power left over. Surprisingly it charged with the included DC charger in about 3 hours (literature says it may take 7-8 hours.) So I'm keeping it. If the first one had worked as well- an easy 5 stars but .... one not working and the second used.... 3 stars. At this price point, I expect more.
