It is smaller than ResMed's S8 and Respironic's soon to be released machine (someone posted the URL several weeks ago). It seemed well made. The battery is a laptop battery. Its usage (humidification and pressure) determines how much use you get off a charge. It is designed to last a night (the thinking you charge it up the next day). I would like one for travel and for boating. h -- To respond, obviously drop the "nospan"?
From: kwn on 24 Dec 2005 23:18 Thanks, Harlan. I've just bought the S8, mainly because of its small size for travelling. In fact, I have just used it on a long flight, plugged into seat power, with BA. But one that I could use for camping would be great. I guess that all this is fairly new technology so we will see rapid improvements.

And my contribution to do it yourself solution for serious outdoor types is here; http://www.woa.com.au/terryc/remote-power/remote-power.html It is all about buying an *pap that will run off 12v and knowing/working out your overnight power requirements. note avoid integral humidifiers. e.g. just finished 15 nights camping with a Resmed Autospirit APAP (upto 15) and a 72 Amp hour deep discharge lead acid battery ($AUS125 fromsuper Cheap Auto before Christmas) gave me two nights before needing a recharge (I didn't try for a third). Damm shame my twin 132 Amp Hour Trojans decided it was their turn to die. |
