Battery Pack Run Times Multiple factors will affect how long the Battery Pack will power a PAP device, including, but not limited to device type (CPAP, BiLevel, AutoPAP, etc.), pressure setting, altitude, humidifier usage, and if a power inverter or power converter is required in conjunction with the Battery Pack. BiLevel and AutoPAP/APAP devices will generally have lower run times as the pressure setting is not constant and changes throughout the night requiring more power to operate the device.
Power Backup Usage Standard smart chargers keep the Battery Pack topped off and ready to go as an emergency power backup during power outages. If a power outage is immenint or probable, you may connect the PAP device to the Battery Pack and plug the Battery Pack into a wall outlet. In the event power is lost the Battery Pack will automatically begin powering the device.

Powering Your PAP Device: Introduction The C-100 Battery Pack will work with most makes and models of PAP devices; however, the DC capability, voltage requirements and plug polarity of the device will determine how it connects to the Battery Pack. Some PAP devices can be connected directly to the Battery Pack via the DC power pigtail cord; while others will require the additional use of a power converter or power inverter in order to complete the connection between the Battery Pack and the PAP device.
Powering Your PAP Device: Connector Tips Make sure the connector tip sits securely in the DC input port of the PAP device. If the connector tip is loose try another one as you want to avoid using a loose connector tip if there is a better match. Once you have determined the best fitting connector tip, insert it into the DC power pigtail cord and follow the connection instructions for your specific device.
Powering Your PAP Device: Respironics Devices Respironics PAP devices operate from a 12V direct current and may be connected directly to the Battery Pack using the DC power pigtail cord. Insert the DC power pigtail cord into the DC out jack of the Battery. DUAL BATTERY PACK CONFIGURATION: Insert the DC power pigtail cord into the DC out jacks of both Battery Packs. Insert the appropriate connector tip into the DC power pigtail cord. See page 12-13 for connector tip instructions.
Powering Your PAP Device: ResMed S9 Devices ResMed S9 Series devices operate from a 24V direct current so the use of a power converter or sine wave power inverter is required to complete the connection between the device and the Battery Pack. DO NOT connect the Battery Pack directly to any ResMed model device. Battery Power Solutions’ 24V Power Converter was specifically designed for use with ResMed S9 Series PAP devices. Insert the 24V power converter into the DC out jack of the Battery Pack.
Powering Your PAP Device: ResMed S8 Devices ResMed S8 Series PAP device input ports run opposite polarity from other manufacturers so the use of ResMed’s S8 Series DC-12 Converter or a sine wave power inverter is required to complete the connection between the device and the Battery Pack. DO NOT connect the Battery Pack directly to any ResMed model device. Insert the DC input cord into the DC out jack of the Battery Pack.
