Medistrom Pilot-Flex Travel Battery for CPAP & BiPAP Machines
The Medistrom Pilot-Flex Battery is a game-changing CPAP power solution that combines dual voltage capabilities with an ultra-portable design. This versatile battery serves as both a travel power source and a reliable backup supply, ensuring you have power whenever and wherever you need it. Designed to provide power for most CPAP machines for 1-2 nights, it delivers dependable sleep therapy even when you’re away from fixed power sources.
Light and Powerful for Travel
Whether you're on the road, in the air, or exploring off the beaten path, the Pilot-Flex Battery delivers the power you need in a lightweight, durable aluminum design built for travel. Weighing just 1.2 pounds, the Pilot-Flex provides reliable power to most popular CPAP/BiPAP machines from top brands like ResMed, Philips Respironics, React Health, and more.
An Ideal Backup Power Solution for Home
Crafted with genuine LG/Samsung industrial-grade rechargeable Lithium-Ion cells, the Pilot-Flex serves as a dependable backup power source to prevent interruptions to your PAP therapy during power outages. Simply connect the Pilot-Flex between your CPAP and the wall outlet. If the power goes out, the Pilot-Flex automatically kicks in to keep your sleep therapy uninterrupted. Once power is restored, the battery recharges automatically, ensuring it's always ready for the next time you need it.
Great for Use on Airlines
According to current FAA regulations, Sleep Apnea Therapy Devices (CPAP and BiPAP Machines) and Lithium-Ion Batteries (like the one in this battery pack) are permitted onboard commercial flights. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your airline before traveling to confirm their specific requirements for carrying medical equipment.
Not Just for PAP Therapy!
The Pilot-Flex is a versatile travel companion. Equipped with USB-A and USB-C ports, it can conveniently charge cell phones, tablets, and other commonly used handheld devices, making it an ideal solution for staying powered on the go.
Maximize Run Times
The Pilot-Flex can power most CPAP machines for 1-2 nights between charges. For extended use, multiple Pilot-Flex batteries can be connected to increase run times. Keep in mind that using a heated humidifier or heated tubing will significantly reduce the battery’s run time and may affect CPAP functionality.
To maximize run times:
- Disable heated humidifiers and heated tubing when using the battery pack.
- Use humidifiers in passover (non-heated) mode.
- Activate ECO, Power Saver, or Airplane Mode if available on your CPAP machine.
- Reduce air leaks and disable comfort features like C-Flex, A-Flex, or EPR.
Usage Information
Be sure to read the instructions provided with your Pilot-Flex battery before use. Fully charge the battery before storage, and recharge it at least once every six months to maintain its performance. Failure to do so may limit future charging capacity or damage the battery.
