I've used CPAP for 24 years. Just got a new machine and mask and want to learn about OSD and my new fancy-schmansy equipment. This looks like a great forum! :mrgreen:

Re: Can I use the Airsense 10 power supply with the AirMini?

Did you mean Airsense 10 or Airsense 11? I believe the connector on the AirMini is different than the Airsense 10 but the same as the Airsense 11. I have heard of some people using the AirMini 12V power supply on the Airsense 11. I expect an Airsense 11 power supply may work on the AirMini but not ...

Re: Can I use the Airsense 10 power supply with the AirMini?

The voltage must match. Both are 24V.

For amps, you need to have a minimum of 0.83. The machine will not draw more amps than needed. You are safe.

That's a general rule for electric devices.

I don't understand your charging issue, but it seems not to matter to me.

my diagnosis is moderate /severe central apnea
How was this diagnosis determined?

Are you newly diagnosed? If you have been using CPAP, which machine model?

If you had a study, please post the summary page.

Which model machine was prescribed?

BTW, did you notice this? --->
Note: If you power a CPAP, please Turn Off the humidifier & heating tube to extend runtime.
Since you live in FL, you might not need the humidifier.

If you are talking about this model, https://www.amazon.com/EASYLONGER-96000mAh-Portable-Dreamstation-Emergency/dp/B0BW8D3Z2B/ref=sr_1_4?th=1, the description says it has a 24V output and a cable for ResMed 11.
