- Important: This Product can only be shipped by ground to the lower 48 US states. -

Weighing only 1.3 lb, the Medistrom Pilot-24 Lite CPAP Battery is your perfect travel companion.

At less than 7” wide, it’s small enough to fit easily in a backpack or tote bag. This CPAP Battery is FAA-compliant and safe to fly with, so you can freely carry it onto airplanes.

Included with the Pilot-24 Lite are output cables for the ResMed AirSense 10 and AirMini.

The battery also works with other 24V CPAP machines and powers them for up to 2 nights on a single charge, making it an ideal standalone power source or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

Featuring a built-in LED flashlight, it can provide light during blackouts or simply light up your tent.

With a recharge time of only 2 to 3 hours and the option to charge via a foldable solar panel or car battery, the Pilot-24 Lite provides uninterrupted sleep apnea therapy, no matter where life takes you.

If you are only going to get one accessory in your lifetime, this should be it! This industrial-grade rechargeable lithium-ion cell battery has changed my life. If you are like me, you probably love sleeping and breathing at the same time!

There is nothing worse than waking up in the middle of the night choking on your own tongue because your power has gone out! This battery can be plugged in in line with your CPAP so that if the power ever goes out, it just kicks in automatically without you missing a breath.

It can also be used as an independent power source for your CPAP and depending on your pressure settings can last for about 2 nights if you turn off your humidifier.

You can charge your Medistrom battery using your CPAP’s regular cable, or you can get a DC adapter to charge it using a cigarette lighter outlet in your car. You can even get a solar panel for it that folds up light and is small for backpacking.

Outside of the fact that this battery keeps me breathing consistently by keeping my CPAP functional regardless of the power situation at my home, the best feature of this battery is the USB outlet on the front of it.

That means that you can use this battery not only to keep your CPAP running, but you can also keep your phone or any other USB device up and running! This makes it a perfect multi-functional accessory for any circumstance.

Unlike the original Pilot series batteries, these batteries are only slightly larger than my phone. Weighing in at only 1.3 lbs and measuring 6.7" x 3.5" x 0.8”, it fits easily in a purse or back pocket for just about any event.

If I had one criticism of this battery it is that the built-in flashlight is not very bright, but because I can keep my phone charged up, I can use the flashlight on it!

In conclusion, this battery is awesome. You should get one or even two! That way you can have one for your CPAP and one for when you are running about with a low phone battery.

Most found it reliable and TSA compliant despite being "quite big and heavy."

Works as expected

I bought this for when our power goes out, I haven't had the chance to use it yet for that, but I did test it while napping and it works well

Must have

This is a must have. I have one for my resmed mini. I have used it while on an air plane flight to Germany and it was amazing. TSA compliant. I have also used it while camping and when we lost power.

Light and Fluffy

I have traveled with both machines, but it wasn't until I got the travel machine that I really loved. It fits in my suitcase with ease. The set up is fast and simple, it works very well for breathing, so much so that I wondered why it took me so long to buy one. the fluffy part comes from the fact that the machine can be any where near my C-pap even on the fluffy pillow next to me. It's wonderful and now I want to go more places!

This battery did not for my resmed air sense 11 cpap machine

This battery did not for my resmed air sense 11 cpap machine. How can I return it?

Good for camping

I got up to 2 nights of sleep on a charge. Charged quickly via vehicle 12v and from solar.

It's not the cheapest option out there, but for the reliability and peace of mind it offers, it is a solid investment. It's kept my therapy going strong no matter where I've ended up.

I ordered the Medistrom battery last week, and it arrived on time. Excellent service by Resp Shop. Thanks,

Nadim Haddad

This is a great battery. I took it with my travel CPAP to camp and was able to get 2 nights out of a single charge. Makes so I can now use my travel CPAP most any where for at least a couple of nights. I did get the car charger with it so I charged it up for a 3rd night.

I was very pleased with this product and will be happy to reuse you service in the future.

Awesome, this battery is a life changer. SO scared to go anywhere off the grid because I would snore so loudly I'd spend weeks explaining myself. Now I can go where I would never go. Boys trips, school camps, friend getaways. It's great.

I intend to use the Medistrom CPAP Battery Pilot-24-Lite (for Resmed) on my voyages (airplane or sites where there is no electric power available). I did test it at home in combination with an Air Mini from Resmed and my first impression is very good. The battery provided me two nights of sleep without extra charging (6h30 and 7h45). As I expected it would last only one night it's a very good information for me as I intend to fly in the near future from Luxembourg to Australia. I hope the Battery's lifecycle will also be a positive surprise.
Greetings

The initial impression is that it is quite big and heavy. It took a little time to find its technical specifications as I plan to take it to a great deal of traveling. A clear marking of international spec might help travellers to clear customs. The cable connector are a little complicated offering many choices. Once starting to use, it is versatile battery capable of performing multiple tasks.

can this be rented since i never go overseas but for this 5o th wedding anniversery

RespShop

Hi Arlene! 😊

What a beautiful reason to travel, congratulations on the 50th wedding anniversary! 🎉

At the moment, the Medistrom Pilot-24 Lite CPAP Battery is available for purchase only and not for rent.

That said, many customers choose this battery for occasional trips since it’s lightweight, reliable, and compatible with several ResMed CPAP machines, making it a great companion even if you don’t travel often.

If you’d like, I can also help you explore the most cost-effective option for your trip or suggest alternatives that fit your needs 😊

Wishing you an amazing and memorable celebration! ✨

Sleep well 😴

From another answer - 'It can operate in line with your machine's cable so that if there is a power outage, you will seamlessly switch over to battery power without missing a breath.'

With occasional power outages and normal house temp (65F-80F), what is the life expectancy of the battery? I suppose there are a few points of interest - that the battery is good enough to last a full 8 hour night with humidifier, a full night without humidifier, and that the battery is good enough to cover just a typical 5-10 minute outage. I have an AirSense 11.

RespShop

The Medistrom Pilot battery works well with the Resmed Airsense cpaps. There is a one year warranty.

I have the air mini apap will it work for that?

RespShop

Yes, it is compatible with the Airmini. It comes with an output cable as well for the Airmini.

Is pilot 24 TSA approved for air travel overseas?

RespShop

Yes, it is FAA-approved

Does this work with Aircurve 10

RespShop

No, this battery is not compatible with the AirCurve 10. I can recommend the Zopec Explore Mini CPAP Battery or the Zopec Explore Oxygen, these will work for your BiPAP machine

does it have a charging cable for use in automobile lighter ?? where can i buy that cable ?

RespShop

Medistrom does have a DC cable cord. The recharge time is 2 - 3 hours. https://www.respshop.com/cpap-supplies/battery-power/medistrom-car-charger-for-pilot-lite-p-1223.html
