The run time may be as long as 12 hours for low values of CPAP with only
moderate leak, or as short as 4 hours for Pressure Support at maximum
pressure with quite severe leaks. Battery run times will typically be 20% more in
IPPV mode because of the absence of the exhale port leak.
Run times will be shortened by higher breath rates and/or higher EPAP levels.

When the battery is almost depleted the battery icon will flash and change colour
to red.
When the battery is depleted an alarm will sound, accompanied by an on screen
