Battery Pack for Respironics System One - Katos - 01-26-2014
Hello, I've been on Respironics System One auto CPAP since July 2013 and all is going well so far. I'm taking a long flight in some weeks and I'm looking for a battery pack for my machine according to the airline's requirements below. I would highly appreciate any help please regarding this matter as Respironics doesn't manufacture FDA approved battery packs. Requirements for battery pack:
- FDA approved
- dry cell battery
- protected from short circuit
- packaged in a manner that protects battery from physical damage
- designed with recessed battery terminals; or packaged so that the battery terminals do not contact metal objects (including the battery terminals of other batteries).
Thanks.

Hi Katos,
WELCOME! to the forum.!
I know Respironics makes jell cell battery packs that come in cases.
Hang in there for more suggestions, have a nice trip, and best of luck to you.

Turning off the humidifier on your CPAP machine will greatly prolong the battery life.

Some planes have power sources -- have you checked?
Also I have purchased small battery packs that would run my laptop; don't know if there is enough power in these but they are about 3/4" thick and the size of a laptop so you can put them UNDER the laptop.
Quite a bit of time on a laptop but might not work for your machine very long. YMMV
