The Respironics Battery Pack (No DC Cable) is the universal portable battery pack from Respironics' line of DC accessories. It provides the ultimate in power, portability and convenience. This is the battery pack, pouch and cord and does not include a DC cable to power a machine.
This product, the Respironics Battery Pack (No DC Cable), does not include a 12 DC cable needed to power a BiPAP or CPAP machine: See the Respironics Battery Pack Kits listed on the Features Tab of this product page which include machine specific DC cables.
The battery must be in an UPRIGHT POSITION during use and while charging.

Instructions for Charging the Respironics Battery Pack:
Replaceable AC Charger
If the AC charger should be lost or fail, a new one can be purchased. Visit the Battery Charger for Respironics Battery Pack page to view and order this item.
400 Watt Minimum DC to AC Inverters: The Respironics battery must be charged from an AC source. Charging the battery pack from a direct DC source is NOT recommended. An inverter converts DC power to AC power. The AC power can be used to charge the Respironics Battery Pack. The inverter must be a minimum of 400 Watt. Consider the 400 Watt DC to AC Power Inverter.
Air Travel: The Respironics Battery Pack uses a sealed, lead-acid battery, which are allowed as carry-on luggage by the FAA and TSA. In-flight use will be determined by the airline and should be contacted on an airline-by-airline basis.
Preparing For Travel: We suggest purchasing the battery pack far enough in advance so the battery can be tested with the your CPAP machine. This allows you to determine the actual run time using the machine at your pressure setting. Additionally you can test whether or not heated humidification is required for your comfort.
Regarding Heated Humidifiers:
For optimum performance of the battery pack, plan to use the CPAP without a heated humidifier. Alternately, connect the humidifier but do not turn on the power. Add water to the chamber as usual and the humidifier will act as a passover, non-heated humidifier.
Using a heated humidifier on a 12volt battery power source will significantly reduce the amount of power provided. In most cases, usage is reduced to less than half the estimated operational time. CPAPs or BiPAPs requiring inverters reduce the power time even more.
Please note that some heated humidifiers are not capable of being operated on 12volt battery power sources. PR System One and PR System One 60 Series heated humidifiers will heat and will draw significant battery power. The M Series heated humidifiers with the 6'' 'pigtail' connectors are capable of running on 12volt DC power sources. Earlier model M Series heated humidifiers without the pigtail are not 12Volt capable, nor are the Legacy model REMstar and stand-alone H2 humidifiers. The older non-DC capable humidifiers will act as cool passover humidifiers and will not heat.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
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.
Took this camping for five days. It ran my CPAP perfectly. I charged it on a small generator for just a few hours each day to keep it topped off. Very pleased with it.
The product was as described, charged completely in a couple of hours ran my BiPap flawlessly. Great customer service, quick ship excellent company to deal with.
This worked very well. Completely quiet. Each charge lasted at least 2 nights for me, which surpassed expectations
It was easy to understand and use. We were able to use it camping for two nights. So excited to have the products. Also, it was super easy to purchase. The CPAP team was great!
I take my CPAP everywhere, even camping!
Arrived on time and in good condition. I am pleased with the case, which is well made and durable. It has a large compartmentalized front pouch for all the necessary cords. While this unit does not come with the DC cable (12 v lighter plug to CPAP machine) it still had room for me to put the one I already had in the pouch. It was fully charged on arrival. I used it with my S8 for two consecutive nights without recharging and it lasted a total of 12 hours combined. It took a charge the next day in about 6 hours. I am only rating it good because I want to wait and see how it performs long term.
The battery worked well. My bipap runs at high pressure the the battery worked all night with no problems. The only issue I have is that it took a long time to recharge the battery. However, I think it is the solution to my power needs.
Product works well, with the CPAP heated humidifier it will run one night and without it ran my CPAP for over 20hrs. I am very satisfied with my purchase
GOOD PRODUCT!
This product is very good, runs my clap machine with no problems at all. Thank you CPAP.com for helping me.
I ordered this product for upcoming camping travel. Last year I used an auto booster battery while camping and found that it provided insufficient power to get me through the night. Recharging it was slow and troublesome while camping in an area with few places to recharge it. Recharging it in the car was nearly impossible due to time and the fact that I was not running my vehicle long enough to keep the unit charged. I rarely got it to charge to full even when charging it from a wall socket for 10+ hours. Anything less than full would not get me through the night. As soon as I got the respironics battery, I brought it up to full charge and hooked it up for the night. It ran my CPAP as expected at 12 pounds pressure for 9+ hours of sleep. It took 3.5 hours to recharge it to full again the next day. So far, the price seems worth the convenience and the peace-of-mind. While I have not tried this battery over two consecutive nights without recharge, it seems reasonable to think that it would supply another night's rest on the remaining power if I needed it. I am pleased that with one night's rest, it only takes 3-4 hours to recharge. And, I'm looking forward to an easier time managing power needs during this years camping trip. I will likely purchase an AC to DC inverter to take with me in the car in case I need to charge it while I travel. Otherwise, I plan to find an outlet to charge it from during the day.
I tested this battery out. I got three nights out of it or 19 hours (7 hours first night, 6 hours, 6 hours). My machine pressure setting is set at 10. There is still charge on it. I can't wait to go camping.
