Charging the Battery

Here are the steps you'd need to take to charge the Portable Outlet CPAP Battery:

1. Slide the "AC Output Switch" to the "OFF" position and plug the included cord into the DC Input Port.
2. Plug the Power Supply into a 110V Electrical Outlet.
3. The device will charge.

Charging from a 12 Volt DC Source

To charge from a DC source like a car or boat battery, you'll need to use an inverter (sold separately), which converts the DC power to AC power. From there you can plug in the charging cable for the Portable Outlet, and recharge it that way.

Powering Phones and Tablets with USB

Here's how to power phones and tablets using the USB ports on this portable power supply:

1. Plug the USB cord into the USB Output Port and connect your device.
2. Your devices should begin to charge.

Using the AC Output Port

It's fairly easy to use AC power from the Portable Outlet:

1. Plug the CPAP machine's AC power supply into the outlet.
2. Slide the AC Output Switch to on.

Tips for Improving Battery Run Times

Even though this device is able to accommodate a CPAP machine and humidifier, using both at the same time will reduce the run times of the battery. For best results, consider using the machine without the heated humidifier. This will reduce the power demands on the battery pack and give a better overall runtime.

As stated before, using a CPAP machine at a higher elevation can impact battery run times. This is because at higher altitudes the air is thinner, and the machine has to work harder to get to the correct pressure. Because the machine is working harder, it's using the battery much more quickly than at sea level.

Higher therapy pressures also lead to lower run times. If your pressure is typically above 15, you may get less time than advertised. For the run times published by the manufacturer, these were created assuming a pressure of 15. Higher pressures than 15 will lead to lower than expected run time.
