Freedom Travel CPAP Battery Compatibility

• All PAP device makes and models have different voltage and direct current capability requirements which determine the type of external battery that can be used
• Unique universal design of the Freedom CPAP Battery allows it to power most common PAP devices; however, some devices will require a device-specific connection component.

Average Run Times:

• BiLevel devices will have lower run times as the pressure setting is not constant and changes throughout the night requiring more power to operate the device
• Use of heated humidification and 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 the PAP device. To obtain optimal battery performance we recommend you forgo the use of heated humidification and heated tubing
• To increase average run times the Freedom CPAP Battery can be used in a dual battery configuration by pigtailed two batteries together

Intended Use

• Freedom CPAP Battery is intended to provide external battery power to PAP (positive airway pressure) devices when AC power is unavailable during travel or power outages
• Can also be used to power or charge most common portable electronic devices such as cell phones and tablets using 5V USB port and a DC input cord
• Use of the battery with a device that has higher amperage requirements than the output of the battery (over 8A) may cause the internal circuitry of the battery to shut off to protect from thermal runaway

Note

• Some older obsolete PAP devices and targeted ventilation PAP devices (VPAP, SV, etc.) may not be compatible or may require more power than the Freedom CPAP Battery can provide. Freedom CPAP Battery and discontinued C-100 CPAP Battery are not compatible due to circuit board differences and cannot be used in a dual battery configuration.
• Average run times are based on CPAP devices without the use of heated humidification or heated tubing on a pressure setting of 10 cm/H2O.
• Multiple factors will affect how long the Freedom CPAP Battery will power a PAP device, including, but not limited to device type, pressure setting, altitude, humidifier usage, and if an additional connection component is required in conjunction with the battery.

How to use Freedom CPAP 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 FreedomTM CPAP Battery will operate on any AC current from 100-240VAC and 50/60 Hz without any adjustment. An international electrical adapter plug is the only additional component that is required to charge the battery in a foreign country.

Single Battery Charging:

• Power supply into the DC IN jack of the battery.
• Plug the AC power supply into a wall outlet.
• The digital display screen will show the charge level of the battery. You may press the charge level indicator button to illuminate this screen for a few seconds at a time.
• When charging is complete disconnect the AC power supply from the wall outlet and the battery.

Note: It is normal for the AC power supply and the battery to be slightly warm to the touch during the charging process.

Dual Battery Charging:

• Connect the AC power cord to the AC power supply.
• Plug the AC power supply into the DC power pigtail cord.
• Plug the DC power pigtail cord into the DC IN jacks of both batteries.
• Plug the AC power supply into a wall outlet.
• The digital display screen will show the charge level of the battery. You may press the charge level indicator button to illuminate this screen for a few seconds at a time.
• When charging is complete disconnect the AC power supply from the wall outlet and the battery.

Note: It is normal for the AC power supply and the batteries to be slightly warm to the touch during the charging process.

Initial Battery Usage

• Before using the FreedomTM 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.

Turning the Battery ON/OFF:

• The Freedom CPAP Battery turns on and off automatically when a device is connected or disconnected from the DC OUT jack.
• When connecting a device via the USB port, the charge level indicator button must be pressed once the device is connected in order to active power output from the USB port.
• The battery will automatically shut off when the device is disconnected from the USB port.
• If the battery stops functioning press the charge level indicator button to reset the batteries internal circuitry. If the battery does not turn back on or does so and then shuts down in a short amount of time the device may be incompatible with the battery.
• When not in use disconnect devices from the DC OUT jack or USB port of the battery in order to allow the battery to completely shut down.

The Control Board

• The FreedomTM CPAP Battery control board includes the DC IN and DC OUT jacks, USB OUT port, charge level indicator button, and digital display screen which displays the current charge level of the battery.

Safety Features:

• Protective Circuit Board (PCB) provides internal protection against thermal runaway (overheating), over charging, over discharging, over voltage, over current, and short circuiting.
• Aluminum alloy shell provides maximum cell protection and durability.
• The FreedomTM CPAP Battery has been UN 38.3 tested and meets all current safety regulations and shipping requirements.

Charge Time:

• The FreedomTM CPAP Battery can be charged in approximately 4 hours (per battery) when fully discharged. The battery does not need to be fully discharged before charging.

Life Span:

• Under normal conditions the average life span of the FreedomTM 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. This decrease in charge capacity is true for all rechargeable lithiumion batteries.

Freedom CPAP Battery Care Instructions

• 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.
• Upon initial use or after a prolonged storage period lithium-ion batteries may require 3-4 charge/discharge cycles before achieving their maximum capacity.
• Lithium-ion batteries will self-discharge when unused; therefore, the battery will need to be charged after a storage period. On average the battery will self-discharge by 20% every 30 days.
• The amount of charge lithium-ion batteries will hold will gradually decrease due to usage and aging. Over time, the actual battery capacity decreases as less and less active material within each lithium-ion cell is available to electrochemically store a charge.
• This loss in capacity (aging) is true for all rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

Battery Storage:

• Fully charge the battery before storage.
• Store the battery in a dry, cool place away from extreme heat, direct sunlight and metal objects.
• If the battery is being stored for long periods of time we recommend charging the battery to 50% of capacity at least once every 90 days.

Battery Disposal

• Lithium-ion batteries should be recycled.

Safety Warnings

• Do not drop, hit, crush, or otherwise abuse the battery as this may result in the exposure of the cell contents, which are corrosive.
• Do not expose the battery to rain or moisture of any type.
• Do not expose the battery to fire, incineration or other extreme heat. Exposure to extreme heat may result in a hazardous reaction.
• Do not disassemble the battery (remove the cover) or attempt to repair the battery as there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Periodically inspect connection cords, connector tips and the power supply for damage or signs of wear. Discontinue use if damaged.
