CPAP.com Announces Portable Battery Pack for CPAP Machines

September 21, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Houston, Texas - CPAP.com announced today the release of a low cost battery power alternative for CPAP users with a mobile lifestyle. The CPAP.com Battery Pack is cost effective, small, lightweight, and will work with most CPAP machines on the market today.

CPAP.com offers four choices of the CPAP.com Battery Pack, three with DC cable and one without. The battery pack configurations include DC cable options for use with Resmed, Respironics or Puritan Bennett CPAP machines. For the user that has already purchased a DC battery cable for their CPAP, there is a “No cable” option starting at $269.99. Battery Packs with manufacturer specific DC battery cables range from $269.99 to $299.99.

The CPAP.com Battery Pack is designed to power a CPAP machine for one night, and weighs a remarkable 2.5 lbs, in comparison with both Respironics and Puritan Bennett’s battery pack solution, which provide comparable usage at more than double the weight and a higher price.

The lightweight, powerful battery pack allows the CPAP user to enjoy a more free and active lifestyle while staying compliant. This unit is also a perfect way for home users to use their CPAP machines during power outages.

Johnny Goodman, CPAP.com General Manager says," We have seen a great need to bring a small, lightweight and low cost battery option to our customers. Although the machine are moving in a travel friendly direction, the battery packs have not kept pace. Our battery pack will free CPAP users from the power grid, so they can camp and enjoy other outdoor activities while still receiving therapy when and where they choose.”
