(see below). Connection Components Sold Separately The following items are required to connect certain PAP devices to the Freedom™ battery. These items are typically packaged separately and are not included in the Freedom CPAP Battery Kit box.
(per battery) when fully discharged. The battery does not need to be fully discharged before charging. Do not charge on any flammable surface. LIFE SPAN Under normal conditions the average life span of the Freedom CPAP Battery is generally around 400-500 charge/discharge cycles. The amount of charge the battery will hold will gradually decrease due to usage and aging.
CPAP Battery Kit. See page 1 for more information. Some older obsolete PAP devices and targeted ventilation PAP devices may not be compatible with or may require more power than the Freedom CPAP Battery can provide. Reference the instructions in this manual for your specific PAP device to determine which connection components are required.
PAP device. To obtain optimal battery performance we recommend you forgo the use of heated humidification and heated tubing. Average run times are based on standard CPAP devices without the use of heated humidification or heated tubing on a pressure setting of 10 cm/H2O.
INITIAL BATTERY USAGE Before using the Freedom CPAP Battery for the first time be sure to charge it fully. It may only take a short time for the battery charge level to reach 100% as it is already partially charged before it leaves the factory.
Charging the Battery The Freedom CPAP Battery can be charged via a wall outlet using the included AC power supply in approximately 4 hours (per battery) when the battery is fully discharged. CHARGING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY The AC power supply of the Freedom CPAP Battery will operate on any AC current from 100-240VAC and 50/60 Hz without any adjustment.
Note: It is normal for the AC power supply and the battery to be slightly warm to the touch during the charging process. Do not charge the Freedom CPAP Battery on any flammable surface. AC POWER SUPPLY AC POWER CORD...
Other Charging Options When AC power is not available you can still keep the Freedom CPAP Battery charged up and ready to go. Optional accessories are available for charging the battery in a vehicle or by using the power of the sun. For more detailed information on these charging accessories visit our website at www.batterypowersolutions.net or call us at 1-877-445-5228.

ResMed Air 10 & S9 Series Devices The steps below must be followed in exact sequence in order to initiate the voltage conversion process and thus allow the Freedom CPAP Battery to power the ResMed Air 10 or S9 series device. After connection if you are not receiving power to the PAP device unplug all components and follow the instructions again.
ResMed Air 10 & S9 Series Devices The steps below must be followed in exact sequence in order to initiate the voltage conversion process and thus allow the Freedom CPAP Battery to power the ResMed Air 10 or S9 series device. After connection if you are not receiving power to the PAP device unplug all components and follow the instructions again.
ResMed S8 Series Devices Although ResMed S8 series devices operate from 12V DC the DC input ports run opposite polarity from the Freedom CPAP Battery; therefore, the use of the 150W sine wave power inverter is required in conjunction with battery. DO NOT connect a ResMed S8 device to the battery without using the sine wave power inverter as doing so will cause irreversible damage to the PAP device.

Battery Care Instructions Understanding common phenomenon with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries can help you better care for your Freedom CPAP Battery and answer many common questions regarding usage. Lithium-ion batteries do not suffer from the memory effects that are associated with other types of battery chemistries. This means that the battery does not need to be completely discharged before charging.
PAP devices require a much higher power draw than today’s standard CPAP devices and therefore can result in lower run times or could prevent the battery from being able to power the device. The device-specific connection components required for some PAP ...
