From the sun
The ESP110 110W folding panel recharges every battery except the ES270. Unfold it facing the sun and plug it in.
ESP110 solar panelA power outage plan for your CPAP.
Three things get you through: a battery already on the nightstand, enough nights to wait it out, and a way to recharge.
How long do outages last where you live?
*Nights at 8.4W: an AirSense 10 at 6 cmH2O, humidifier and heated tube off, 8 hours a night. Higher pressure means fewer nights. Estimate yours
Get ready before the storm.
Do these once, then again when a storm is on the forecast.
- Every night
Keep it plugged in.
Leave the battery on the charger with your CPAP connected. It stays full, and if the power goes out, your CPAP keeps running on the battery.
- Once a season
Test your real setup.
Same battery, same cable, same voltage setting, one full night. It's the only way to know your own number of nights.
- Before a storm
Write down your setting.
Put the voltage and the cable on a note taped to the battery, so anyone in the house can set it up in the dark.
- During the outage
Turn off the humidifier.
The humidifier and heated tube use the most power. Turning them off can add nights.
- If it runs long
Recharge by day.
Recharge from the car or a solar panel during the day, so the battery is ready by bedtime.
- Anytime
Register your battery.
Keep your receipt and the label photo together. Register a battery
Recharge while the power is out.
Charge times for each battery
From the car
Charge while you drive, or with the engine running outdoors. Never run it in a closed garage. The ES960 PRO takes about 6 hours from a 12V or 24V vehicle socket.
From the wall
When the power's back, or anywhere that still has power: a friend's house, a library, a community center. The ES960 PRO fills up in about 5 hours with the adapter in the box.
