    (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.
  • Page 7: Average Run Times

    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.
  • Page 8: Getting Started

    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.
  • Page 9: Charging The Battery

    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.
