Use the Shielded DC Cord for PR System One 60 Series Machines to connect PR System One 60 Series machines to a 12 Volt battery source. The connection peg attaches to the 60 Series machine and the other end plugs into a socket such as a power/cigarette lighter outlet.
>IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE: This cord works ONLY with PR System One 60 Series machines. It is NOT compatible with any other machines made by Philips Respironics, such as the DreamStation Series.

How to Tell the Difference Between a 60 Series and 50 Series Machine
Regarding Heated Humidifiers, Please Note:
The Shielded DC Cord for PR System One 60 Series Machines uses an 8 AMP Fuse. It comes packaged with two additional 8 AMP fuses. This same fuse is used when using the machine alone and when the heated humidifier and heated hose are used.
When using the heated humidifier with a machine, the battery run time will be significantly reduced. Assume that the battery run time will be cut in half with the use of a heated humidifier. If the heated tube is also used, assume that the battery run time will be reduce by another quarter of the time.
To get the longest run time out of a battery, it is suggested to use the CPAP without the heated humidifier or heated tube. To add some moisture to the air stream, consider using the humidifier as a passover by connecting the humidifier filled with water, but without the power turned on. In this way a heated humidifier is functioning as a passover humidifier.
Yes, you can travel by air with CPAP equipment. Sleep therapy should be used every night and your equipment should be taken along when traveling. The following information is intended as a general guideline and does not reflect any particular airline's policy. Check with your airline carrier to verify their policies regarding CPAP / BiLevel equipment.
Air Travel: Call your airline. Each airline has a different policy on whether or not you can use your CPAP while in flight, and if they have a power source available.
Here is a letter from the manufacturer ResMed on the topic:
Here is a letter from the manufacturer Philips Respironics on the topic:
All CPAPs will operate on DC power with the use of an Inverter to change the current from DC to AC before it reaches the machine. However, many will operate on DC power without the need for an inverter, just a power cord that plugs into the CPAP and ends in a cigarette lighter plug.
Inverters do require a lot of power. If you need to use an inverter to run your machine on battery power, the inverter will probably take about half the life off the battery.
To determine if your CPAP will operate without an inverter, look for a DC outlet on the machine, either at the back or on the side, with a single opening directly in the center. It should be labeled "DC POWER" or similar term. You can also review our Compare Charts to see if your machine has a optional DC cable option.
Here is a video describing different DC cable and battery options for various machines:
All machines can connect to DC power. Some machines are configured to operate on DC Power and have a DC power outlet. Other machines require AC power and will need an Inverter that turns DC power to AC power.
Having the proper equipment is the biggest key to successfully operating the machine from a battery. For example, if your machine does have a DC outlet and you want to run your machine from a marine battery, be sure to get the correct DC cable for the machine, as well as an adapter cable with alligator clips that fits over the cigarette lighter plug.
CPAP.com sells complete battery kits with everything you need for many machines including the correct cables for those machines and batteries. If you have questions about the specific power needs of your machine, review the 'Power' tab found on the machine's product page, or give us a call at 1-800-356-5221.
Works in our RV, I was able to run the machine w/ heated humidifier for 5+ hours directly off batteries (lithium). This allows a more efficient use of batteries, rather than using the RV inverter, 12 volt to 110 volt back to 12 volt.
Had to buy this cord since the DC fitting does not fit my older RESMED CPAP machine for which I also have a cord.
This worked great for us to take our son camping so he could still use his Bipap.

This adapter works great and gives me the flexibility I need to travel and keep my CPAP
I bought this product so I could use my CPAP in the car on long trips. Turns out you can't use it with the engine running. Kind of defeats my whole purpose of ordering it.
First night out van Camping, I plugged in my PRS1 960 ASV with humidifier and heated hose, using this 12 volt power cord adapter. Everything worked as expected. Only problem is I can probably only get 1 night from my current battery without recharging it.
purchase for use with my cpap while not on any shore power.. battery only. haven't used it yet
Worked perfect no complaints! Have told people to get their own!
Durable, well made and performed as advertised. Well pleased with product, price and delivery.
Overall excellent
Very happy with this purchase as it allows me to connect my newer cpaps to the back up battery purchase I made a few years ago. The connector I had didn't fit my most recent Cpaps and I really didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars getting a new battery. Thank you!
