Compatibility

Variable voltage output and DC/DC soft switching technology allow the Freedom V2 battery to power most common PAP devices as the voltage output is determined by the power path of the DC output cable.
Battery Power Solutions manufactures DC output cables to fit the most common PAP device models. All other models connect to the battery using the 150W Sine Wave Power Inverter.

The original Freedom CPAP battery and its output cables and power supply ARE NOT compatible with the Freedom V2 CPAP battery.

Average Run Times

Many factors can affect how long the Freedom V2 battery will power your PAP device, including, but not limited to the device type, pressure setting, your mask fit, and the use of heated humidification or tubing.
Using heated humidification and/or heated tubing will significantly reduce expected run times by up to two-thirds in most cases and in some cases could prevent the battery from being able to power your PAP device. For optimal battery performance, you should disable or detach your humidifier and heated tubing.
*Listed run times are based on standard CPAP devices without heated humidification or heated tubing on a pressure setting of 10 cm/H20. For specific PAP devices, run times visit www.batterypowersolutions.net. ,-.

Dual Battery Charging
Two batteries may be bridged together for charging; however, they will not charge simultaneously. As shown in the image below, battery B will charge first and then battery A will begin charging.
To begin the dual charging process battery A must be charged to at least 15%. Battery B can be at any charge level including 0%.

Depending on the power supply being used, it is normal for the digital display screen of the batteries to read separate and different voltages. This is due to the voltage output of the Bridge Cable used to connect the two batteries together.

• Plug the power supply into the DC IN port of battery A. The charge level of this battery must be 15%.
• If a Power Supply Adapter is required, plug it into the DC IN port of battery A and then into the PAP device power supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lower Than Expected Run Time

• Using heated humidification and/or heated tubing is the number one cause of lower than expected run times. For optimal battery performance disable and/or detach your humidifier and heated tubing! If heated humidification or tubing is required, lowering your heat settings may help or you can bridge two batteries together.
• A high-pressure setting (> 16 cm/H20) can impact run times especially when other factors are present. All run-time testing is done on a pressure setting of 10 cm/H20.
•  A leaking mask makes the device work harder to maintain your prescribed pressure setting and thus it draws more power.
• The device type will impact the run time as some types (BiLevel/ BiPAP, VPAP, SV, etc.) draw more power than a standard CPAP.

Battery Starts Then Stops Working
If the battery starts powering your device and then shuts down, try to reset the internal circuitry (see page 5). If the battery continues to shut down, the device you are trying to power may:

• have higher amp requirements (> 8A) than the battery can provide
• require a constant voltage output to operate properly (the Freedom V’ battery operates on a voltage range of 10V-28V)
