Medistrom Pilot-12 Lite Battery

Compatible With Wide Variety of Popular CPAP Machines

The Medistrom Pilot-12 Lite is compatible with the following machines:

• Philips DreamStation Line of Machines (Excluding the DreamStation Go)
• System One 60 Series
• IntelliPAP
• IntelliPAP 2
• Z1 Auto
• Z1 Standard CPAP
• Z2 Auto
• Z2 Standard CPAP

The IntelliPAP, IntelliPAP 2, Z1 Auto, Z1 Standard Auto, Z2 Auto, and Z2 Standard CPAP require the Pilot–12 Lite Mixed Kit, which is sold separately. The original IntelliPAP power supply will not charge the battery, so consider purchasing the DreamStation Power Supply and the Power Cord for Respironics, ResMed S8 & S9, Sandman, and IntelliPAP Machines if you have an original IntelliPAP device.

Convenient and Cost-Effective: Charge Your Battery From Your Machine’s Power Supply

The Pilot–12 Lite doesn’t come with its own power supply. Instead, the device uses your machine’s power supply to charge the battery (which helps keep costs down). For a Z1 and Z2, you will need a short charging adapter cable to connect the power supply to the battery.

 If you use an original IntelliPAP machine, you will need to purchase the DreamStation Power Supply and the Power Cord for Respironics, ResMed S8 & S9, Sandman, and IntelliPAP Machines to charge your Pilot–12 Lite. The device also lets you charge your mobile phone or tablet which is helpful when you’re off the grid.

Power Your Compatible CPAP Device for Up to 16 Hours

Designed to help you take your sleep therapy on the go, the Pilot–12 Lite can power your DreamStation or another compatible device for one to two nights. Battery run times vary depending on a variety of factors, including altitude and whether you’re using accessories like a heated tube or humidifier.

Continue Your Sleep Therapy—Even During a Power Outage

In the event of a power outage, the Pilot–12 Lite automatically kicks in once loss of power is detected so you don’t have to miss a wink.

User–Friendly Device Doesn’t Require Extra Equipment

You don’t need heavy, expensive inverters to make this battery work! Simply plug in and doze off. The Pilot–12 features simple controls and is easy to operate, too.

First Time Charging Tips: Charge all the way to 100%. Partial charging can impact the battery's total run time and reduce it's lifespan.

Tips for Improving Run Times

The battery is engineered to provide one full night of use. This calculation was based on the battery having a full charge, and not having been used to power cellphones, tablets or other devices before use. It was also based on presuming the user would be at a pressure setting of 10, and would not be using a humidifier or heated hose.

Higher pressure settings and using humidification can greatly reduce runtimes. You will also get lower runtimes if you're currently at higher elevations, as the air is thinner and the machine has to work harder to keep you at the right pressure.

Lower pressure settings and not using humidification will produce the longest run times. As a number of different factors come into play with battery run times we cannot guarantee any specific run time for this device.

WARNINGS:

• Lithium-Ion battery cells are made with highly toxic and corrosive chemicals and can cause injury or death if exposed. Do not attempt to open the casing on your own or attempt any kind of repair or modification as you can put yourself in danger. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery, as this can risk exposure to the chemicals inside.
• Do not get the battery wet or attempt to wipe or clean with any spray or solvent. Any kind of moisture can result in damage or loss.
• Extreme heat or fire can interfere with the chemicals inside the battery and cause it to explode.
