Run Time Considerations

The battery run time varies significantly based on CPAP machine settings, particularly the use of heated humidifiers and heated tubes. To maximize run time, it is recommended to disable these features if possible.

• Without Heated Humidifier and Heated Tube: Expect approximately 1.5 - 2 nights or 12 - 16 hours of operation.
• With Heated Humidifier and/or Heated Tube: Battery run time can be reduced by 50% - 80%.
