Length
The DC-24 Converter For S8 ResMed VPAP Auto 25 and VPAP ST Machines consists of the converter box, a 14" cord extending to the cigarette lighter socket and a 48" cord extending to the machine end DC connection pin. The entire length of this product is 67 3/4" long. This measurement does not include the length of the cord end connections but does include the length of the converter box.
Word of Caution to RESmed S8 and S8 II Machine Users
YOU MUST USE THIS converter in conjunction with any battery source, when using ResMed VPAP Auto 25 and VPAP ST Machines. Failure to do so can result in damage to your CPAP.
If you would like to use a heated humidifier, then this cord will not work. You will need a Pure Sine Wave DC Inverter to generate a clean, Alternating Current (a/c) power. Inverters without a Pure Sine signal may fit, but will blow out the S8 power supply (no kidding, we have found out the hard way). The polarity is different from most 12 volt cables and the inverter provides needed power smoothing.
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.
CPAP.com sells Battery Packs to accompany your machine if an integrated battery is not available. Visit CPAPtalk for more advice specific to your needs, or view this past thread on the topic here.

Any mask will work with any machine, with one important exception. The ResMed AirMini is only compatible with certain ResMed CPAP masks. Compatible masks for the AirMini are as follows:
- ResMed AirFit™ N20 Nasal Mask
- ResMed AirFit™ F20 Full Face
- ResMed AirTouch™ F20 Full Face
- ResMed AirFit™ P10 Nasal Pillow
When considering another CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine from ResMed or any other manufacturer, mask compatibility extends to all brands. The AirMini uses non-standard tubing to connect the machine to the mask, and is the primary reason why other masks won't work with the AirMini. Despite this issue, many of our customers consider the AirMini to be an excellent machine.

Here are some other suggested actions to care for your machine:
- Keep the area around your machine clean by removing any dust from the area to improve the air quality delivered to your machine and to you.
- Keep the air intake of the machine unblocked. Curtains, bedding, and papers can easily block the air intake of your machine, reducing the airflow.
- If a humidifier is used with your therapy, do not pick up the machine with the humidifier attached. With most machines it is easy to spill water from the humidifier chamber into the machine causing damage. Manufacturer warranties are voided by water damage to the machine. To avoid this, remove the chamber from the humidifier and then remove the humidifier from the machine rather than transporting them together.
- If a humidifier is used, empty the water from the chamber every morning. Accidents happen. If a family pet or family member moves the machine and humidifier with water in the chamber it is more likely that water could be spilled into your machine. Water damage to a machine voids the manufacturer warranty.
With this small converter I am now able to go campinging with only one battery. I used to have to... use three marine batteries and an inverter to get through the night but with this converter I am down to only one battery. more...
