Batteries and Cables

Continuous Positive Area Pressure (CPAP) Machines that designed to treat various types of sleep apnea (such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea [OSA], Central Sleep Apnea [CSA], or Complex Sleep Apnea) function with two main types of power supply:

• AC Power Supply - This is the standard power supply that is initially included with most CPAP machines (such as the Resmed AirSense 11), BiPAP machines (such as the React Health Luna G3, or Resmed AirCurve 11), Auto CPAP, or APAP, machines (such as the Resmed AirMini, Transcend Micro, or React Health Luna TravelPAP), and other types of CPAP therapy devices. The AC Power Supply runs from your PAP device directly into a wall outlet.  An AC Power supply typically features a cable or power cord that runs from your wall outlet to the power adapter which includes a secondary cord that runs from the power adapter to your sleep therapy machine. Every CPAP device type has a unique AC Power Supply designed specifically to the specifications of the machine.

• DC Power Cables & DC Converters - CPAP machine DC power cords will allow you to power your CPAP machine by plugging it into a moving power source such as a boat or a car. When using a DC cable, it’s a good idea to also use a DC power converter to ensure that your machine is receiving an accurate and constant voltage because while it isn’t required, it can prolong the life of your machine and prevent damage.

Traveling with all of your needed CPAP supplies can prove to have it's obstacles, especially within the context of powering your device. That’s where alternative CPAP power solutions come into play. Many of the most popular CPAP machines have replacement options for batteries, power cords, and adapters, and are designed with portable power compatibility.
