Air Travel Usage
The Freedom™ CPAP Ba ery meets current FAA requirements for spare
lithium-ion ba eries (not installed in a device) taken in carry-on baggage
as each ba ery is less than 100Wh (97.68Wh) and is protected from
damage and short circuit. Spare lithium-ion ba eries are not allowed in
checked baggage and must only be taken in carry-on baggage.
TSA security, individual airline, and interna onal rules may, at mes, be
more restric ve. If you are planning to use the Freedom™ ba ery during
fl ight it is recommended that you contact your airline as they may have
specifi c requirements regarding the use of PAP devices and/or lithium-ion
ba eries during fl ight. For more informa on view the FAQ sec on on our
website at www.ba erypowersolu ons.net.
Power Backup Usage
The Freedom™ CPAP Ba ery can be used as a true ba ery backup system
for your PAP device during power outages. When you sleep you may leave
your PAP device connected to the ba ery and then plug the ba ery into
a wall outlet. In the event AC power (power from a wall outlet) is lost the
ba ery will automa cally begin powering your PAP device uninterrupted.
When AC power is available it will bypass the lithium-ion cells within the
Freedom™ ba ery and power your device normally without degrading
the overall lifespan of the ba ery as the cells of the ba ery will not
con nuously be charging and then discharging.
You may use the Freedom™ ba ery in this power backup scenario using
a single ba ery or in the dual ba ery confi gura on; however,
in the dual
ba ery confi gura on you will need to purchase an addi onal DC power
pigtail cord
in order to connect both ba eries to the AC power supply of
the ba ery and then both ba eries to your PAP device.
When not in use we recommend disconnec ng the AC power supply
and the PAP device from the Freedom™ ba ery to allow the ba ery to
completely shut down.
