ION Pro Compact 12V Battery Pack from Powapacs

12V Battery Pack – Powering your devices anywhere

IMPORTANT NOTICE: To effectively use this battery pack with your CPAP machine, you will need a 12V DC cable; find our machine-specific options here.

The Powapacs ION Pro Battery Pack is new, improved and a great travel partner. The compact and lightweight battery pack is ideal for powering your CPAP machine and other devices wherever you go. The integrated Lithium-Ion battery weighs just 1kg and includes a 12V cigarette lighter socket to connect to your CPAP machine easily. Featuring a 98Wh

capacity, making it airline-approved as it is below the 100Wh limit most airlines use. The battery capacity allows you to power your machine for one night; for some, it will power it for two nights. Please always check your airline’s policy and inform them of your battery before leaving for the airport, just to be certain.

Estimated ION Pro Running Times

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The estimated run times are based on using a 12V power cable without a CPAP humidifier connected.

CPAP Machine	5cmH2O	10cmH2O	15cmH2O	20cmH2O
ResMed AirSense 10	9 hours	7 hours	6 hours	4 hours
ResMed S9 AutoSet	8.5 hours	7.5 hours	6.5 hours	5.5 hours
ResMed S8 AutoSet	8.5 hours	7 hours	5.5 hours	4.5 hours
Philips REMstar 60 Auto	22 hours	14 hours	10.5 hours	8.5 hours
DreamStation	TBC	14 hours	TBC	TBC
Prisma SmartPlus Auto	9 hours	7 hours	6 hours	4 hours
ResMed AirMini	50 hours	28 hours	15.5 hours	11.5 hours

The above times are estimates and are not guaranteed. The running time depends on various factors, including the machine, pressure setting, altitudes, mask leakage, exhalation relief, humidification and more.

Need a longer running time? Please instead consider the Atom Pro battery pack, which has nearly four times the capacity. You can find out more about that here.

Try Waterless Humidification with the ION Pro

You can power a humidifier using the ION Pro, but the running time will be significantly less than the times above. This is because heated humidifiers use more electricity than the CPAP machine. Run times will be around 20-30% of the estimates above, so we do not recommend using a heated humidifier with this battery.

If you require a humidifier, we recommend considering a Waterless Humidifier; for many travel machines, this is a feature they offer. These are small filter-type devices that sit between your mask and tube, recycling the humidity from your exhaled breath. This provides a good level of humidification without needing a heated humidifier, meaning you can get considerably more hours of use from your Ion Pro Battery Pack.

Our Universal Waterless Humidifier option lasts for three nights before needing to be replaced, making them an ideal short-term solution. You can find out more about those here.

Which 12V cable do I need?

Please note: The ION Pro battery also has a mains plug socket, but using this will reduce running times significantly. We strongly recommend using the appropriate 12V cable for your CPAP machine rather than the mains plug. See below for details of which 12v cable you should use for your machine.

The Ion Pro battery pack comes with a solar charger included, allowing you to use your CPAP machine entirely off-grid.

You will need the appropriate power adapter to connect the Ion Pro Compact CPAP Battery Pack to your CPAP machine. We provide most of the appropriate cables, which you can find below:

*Please note that ResMed states that their cables are “not for aircraft use”. Please bear this in mind if planning to use your ResMed machine on a flight. We suspect that means not to use the cable directly into the aircraft power supply should there be a socket available at your seat, as it is difficult to see why you would not be able to use it with an independent battery source such as this one. However, the wording on this note is unclear, and we would strongly recommend seeking clarification from ResMed and your airline as to whether or not it will be OK to use this cable on a flight with an independent battery pack rather than the aircraft’s power.
