ION Compact 12V CPAP Battery Pack

Portable CPAP power wherever you need it

The ION Battery Pack is from Powapacs provides a compact, lightweight option for powering your CPAP machine on your travels. The integrated Lithium-Ion battery means the Ion weighs just 1.2kg, and because it has a 230V plug socket will connect to any CPAP machine. The capacity of 84Wh means most CPAP machines will get one nights use, and some will get a second as well.

The capacity of this battery makes it “airline friendly”, as the 84Wh capacity is below the 100Wh limit imposed by most airlines. However – always check your airline’s policy before leaving for the airport, just to be certain.

Please note that this battery does not have a cigarette lighter socket as used by most 12V cables for CPAP machines. Instead you would use your regular mains cable with the three-pin plug to connect to the Ion battery instead.

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

Estimated running times

CPAP Machine	5cmH2O	10cmH2O	15cmH2O	20cmH2O
ResMed AirSense 10	5 hours	4 hours	3 hours	2 hours
ResMed S9 AutoSet	5 hours	4 hours	3 hours	3 hours
ResMed S8 AutoSet	4.5 hours	3.5 hours	3 hours	2.5 hours
Philips REMstar 60 Auto	12 hours	8 hours	6 hours	5 hours
DreamStation	TBC	14 hours	TBC	TBC
DeVilbiss SleepCube Auto	12 hours	8 hours	6 hours	4 hours
Transcend Auto	30 hours	16 hours	9 hours	7 hours

The above times are estimates only, and are not guaranteed. Actual running times will vary based on multiple factors including machine, pressure setting, altitudes, mask leakage, exhalation relief, and more.

Need a longer running time? Please instead consider the Atom Pro, which has nearly 4 times the capacity and a direct 12V connection option, too – meaning it can power most machines for around 5 times longer than the Ion. You can find out more about that here.

Technically you can power a humidifier using the Ion, but run times will be significantly less than the times above. Heated humidifiers use a lot more electricity than a CPAP machine by itself. Running times will be around 20-30% of the estimates above, so we do not recommend using a heated humidifier with this battery.

Our recommendation if you need humidification would be to consider a Waterless Humidifier. 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 will be able to get considerably more hours use from your Ion Battery Pack. Each Waterless Humidifier lasts for three nights before needing to be replaced, making them an ideal short-term solution. You can find out more about those here.
