Compatible with virtually any CPAP machine, Medistrom's Pilot-Flex Battery is a revolutionary, ultra-portable power solution with dual voltage convenience. Pilot-Flex is ideal for use while traveling, it will power most CPAPS for 1-2 nights, and at home where it can be used as an inline backup power source in case of mains power loss. With both USB-A and USB-C ports, Pilot-Flex goes beyond sleep therapy to recharge a range of handheld devices, like mobile phones and tablets, too.

 

Light & Powerful for Travel: Whether you're on the road, in the air, or far off the beaten path, Pilot-Flex has the power you need for a good night's sleep in a lightweight, sturdy aluminum package built for travel and weighing just 1.2 pounds!.

Dual Voltage Convenience: The Pilot Flex is an auto-sensing dual voltage battery compatible with almost any sleep therapy device including 12V and 24V CPAP and BiPAP machines from ResMed, Respironics, React, and more.

Ideal Backup Power for Home: Pilot-Flex can be used as a backup power source, to prevent interruption to PAP therapy in the event of a power outage, at home. Simply attach the Pilot-Flex in series between your CPAP and wall power and you're all set... If mains power goes out, due to a storm or other anomaly, Pilot-Flex will automatically take over ensuring you continue to receive uninterrupted sleep therapy. When the power comes back on Pilot-Flex will automatically recharge so it's ready the next time you need it.

Great for Use on Flights: Current FAA regulations allow Sleep Apnea Therapy Devices and Lithium Ion Batteries (like the one in this battery pack) to be carried onboard commercial flights; however it is always important to check with your airline prior to travel to determine exactly what requirements they have for carrying medical equipment on board.

Not Just For PAP Therapy! This little battery truly is the ideal travel companion. Pilot-Flex has USB-A & USB-C ports which can be used to conveniently charge cellphones, tablets and other commonly used handheld devices.

Extended Run Times: With an average run time of 16 hours, Pilot-Flex will power most CPAP Machines for 1-2 nights between charges. Multiple Pilot-Flex batteries can also be piggybacked to extend run times. Using a heated humidifier, heated tubing, and other comfort features with a battery pack will significantly reduce run times. If required, extend run times by turning off heated humidifiers, heated tubing, and comfort features off when using a battery pack. Please read the instructions that come with your battery before use. Fully charge your Pilot-Flex battery before storage and re-charge at least once every 6 months thereafter. Failure to do this may limit future charging and/or damage the battery.

Convenient Charging Options: Pilot-Flex can be charged with the AC Power Supply from your sleep therapy device or with any standard USB-C cord. It can also be charged from the comfort of your vehicle using the optional DC Charging Cord, or in out in the wild using the optional Medistrom Solar Charging Panel both of which are available elsewhere on this site. (Note the USB-C port cannot be used while a PAP device is connected to the battery.)
