Re: Choosing a Battery

Any thoughts on using a Zopek battery (AC 54k)? 160 watt hrs, ~$250, no additional cords required. I’m getting a Z2 for travel/camping and need multi-night battery capability. I'm not a fan of a battery pack that doesn't have a DC outlet and only uses an inefficient inverter. Also, I don't much car...

Re: Choosing a Battery

Thank you for this, Loki! This is extremely helpful. So how is this revised setup? - Two Universal 35ah AGM deep cycle batteries ($130): https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Power-Group-UB12350-35Ah/dp/B007Q2CUD0/ - Two small battery boxes, no frills ($23): https://www.amazon.com/attwood-9082-1-Small-B...

Re: Choosing a Battery

A lot of questions ... I'll try to get to them ...So I think I'm looking for a battery with 35 ah (+/-55 if Resmed's +50% cushion recommendation is a good one.) For longest lifetime, we try to stay above 50% State Of Charge. Taking it down to 20% is still reasonable with the understanding that the n...

Re: Choosing a Battery

... I was thinking about that and found a deep cycle marine battery with over 100AH. Just two things: Although a "Deep Cycle Marine Battery" is the traditional advice, I strongly recommend an AGM battery (which should also be deep cycle, and may be sold as "marine") because they are essentially sea...

Re: Choosing a Battery

I need to get in on this thread, the recent storms that came through the midwest this past weekend (we had two confirmed on the ground tornadoes) caused us to lose power for awhile. Thankfully, power was restored before bedtime, but it lit a fire under my posterior to get a power alternative in pla...

Re: Choosing a Battery

HOW DOES THIS LOOK FOR CAR CAMPING SETUP? 72 bucks.png It looks OK but the battery is a bit on the small side. For another $25 you could have double the juice and not worry about charging everyday. So I guess it really depends on how much the remstar uses and how long you're staying out. My guess i...

Re: Is a humidifier necessary when you already live in a humid climate?

I always use the humidifier at home because if the RH goes above 60% my wife will turn on the A/C. However, when we stay on the boat the RH is typically 70-95% and I don't bother even bringing the humidifier onboard. I also found it wasn't worth bringing the humidifier to a humid location such as Fl...

Re: Tapatalk

When they changed software some number of months ago, the Tapatalk extensions didn't work. They were alerted, acknowledged it, but I don't think they explored it any further. I used Tapatalk to read the forum sometimes, but really don't miss it, especially with the privacy concerns associated with ...

I used to use Tapatalk for reading CpapTalk on my phone/tablet but some months back it stopped working. In particular it could see some items but not any subforums. Since all of our posts are in one large subforum, I can't see the normal list of posts so the program is rather useless for me. I have ...

Re: Choosing a Battery

Thank you for the response. I kind of figured the generator I was looking at wouldn't last the whole time and would need a recharge but wasn't positive. I do have an A/C outlet in the van that has 115 power but I've yet to try to use it. WAF in the sense of Wife Acceptance Factor. If it looks diffi...

Re: Choosing a Battery

A lot of very useful information in this thread and I am trying to process it all. I'm actually not the one that has sleep apnea; my wife is the one with sleep apnea and I am doing research for her. I am looking in to portable generators for tent camping purposes. We would only camp at sites we can...

Re: Airsense 10 battery advice

Hi all, sorry if this is a repost but I'm a bit of a newb here. I have the resmed invertor/convertor to allow me to attach a battery. I have a battery which cost me a fortune a few years ago. It's hardly been used but seems to now last only a couple of hours. I don't have the money to splash out on...
