<p>Veeeeeery late reply. The battery lasts about 8 / 8:30 hours when I set the minimum pressure to 6 (as suggested by the NHS after a new sleep study - they have also given me their ResMed now, as they cannot monitor my SleepCube). A minimum pressure at 9 was really too high. For sure it doesn't last for 2 nights, at least on the Devilbiss (tried on both my SleepCube at this point)</p>

Glad you managed to get the battery and the UPS feature really is good for unexpected power cuts. For those occasions it wouldn't usually require a full night with the battery if it's unexpected. I sure wish I'd had my UPS battery plugged in a couple of weeks ago when we had a power cut caused through a problem at a local substation. I woke up finally feeling I was suffocating! Anyway, 6.30 hours doesn't sound good though as the manufacturer does state the battery should power for 1-2 nights without a humidifier or heated hose. It always depends on many things though such as auto pressures vs fixed and how often they ramp up etc. My hubby used his with the Lowenstein Prisma CPAP and he got a full night with 80% remaining.<br/>Just try again, making sure the battery is 100% full and if you only get 6.5 hours again then contact the manufacturer directly in case they can shed some light on this.

<p>Yes it was a very sudden announcement DeVilbiss made last year about coming out of the market. Very sad too as the SleepCube/IntelliPAP1 were excellent machines. We made an announcement on social media and in our newsletters.
