TSA approval?

Post by tobindia » Thu Jun 13, 2019 1:38 pm

Does anyone know of a CPAP battery backup that is approved by the TSA for plane travel?

here's a quick knee jerk link to start with.

https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-scr ... watt-hours



If your going to bring a battery on the plane with your CPAP make sure you let the airline know first... Most of what you need to know will be available on the airline's website as well as TSA's

I'm sure others who have actually done this will be able to weigh in shortly and provide more helpful advice.

Take care!

We gave up camping several years ago. I seriously considered a nice camping trailer to use. By the time I added up the cost of the camper and a new truck to pull it, I decided I could stay in nice hotels two or three weeks a year for several years for the price of the camper and truck. This way, we don't have to cook and keep a camper clean when we travel.

If you really want to camp with an RV, you can always rent one for $150/day or so. Much cheaper than buying, and you don’t have to worry about obsolescence, repairs or other costs. Hotels are still nicer though 😁
