<p>I bought a power cord and battery pack to use on the Philips Remstar so I could go night fishing.</p>
<p>Then the hospital changed me over to a Resmed S9 which is 24v</p>
<p>No more night fishing</p>

<p>Hi Sleep2snore, Chris, Kath,</p>
<p>Great to hear you are pushing the boundaries of off-the-grid CPAP use. </p>
<p>I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">have</span> used my Resmed Airsense 10 with 12V DC power. I purchased the Resmed Airsense 10 DC converter. It is quite pricey at £70 and is quite a heavy add-on, but it is well built and allows the Airsense 10 to be run on 12V DC. It comes with crocodile clips for connection to a battery and cigar lighter-type attachment. I am just…</p>

I plan to write-up my experience and post to this forum shortly.</p>

<p>The only time I have been in Hull is when I am catching a ferry, and as you know when you are trying to catch a ferry you don't have much time and they will not wait. By the time we travel from where I am it is almost time for it to sail.</p>
<p>It is kind of annoying as I would love to pop in past, even if the other half would be twiddling her thumbs.</p>

<p>Thanks Chris and we certainly are doing our homework Sleep2Snore. Our charity work hard to get the right products at the right price for our fellow sufferers, and we have lots of loyal customers who purchase from us both to support the charity and because they know they can trust us. We have loads of requests for batteries, and in fact the new Respironics battery will be available on our site very soon, even though it's expensive. </p>

<p>They are very costly things to have sitting around to go wrong or if you forget to charge them by their date.</p>
<p>You could try to see if they will do it on a sale or return basis, them you could keep one or two. However, I think most are ordering them on-line where they can get a good deal.</p>
<p>You would need to do your homework and I doubt it would be worth it.</p>
<p>How many times do you get someone asking for a battery to go camping and would they pay that amount?</p>

<p>I wish the ResMed was 12Vdc, it would make life a lot easier.</p>
<p>I wonder why they need 24Vdc anyway?</p>
<p>My APAP is not mine to and see why it has to be 24Vdc!</p>
<p>I don't think the clinic might be to impressed if I opened it for a look. <img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/></p>

<p>hi,</p>
<p>just looked on internet, it seems that medistrom may not have a dealer in the uk but a company called sleep tight advertise the pilot 24 for £345, don't know about the co pilot. The very expensive one on amazon comes from Israel, good luck with warranty. Mine came through amazon supplied by choice one medical. If you buy the resmed one at £400 you have to pay an extra £40 for the cables to connect it! the other main advantage with the pilot is that you can leave it all plugged in…</p>

All silly prices really, such is cpap, (not including yourselves of course<img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/>)</p>
