Medistrom Pilot 24 Lite Battery For ResMed CPAP Machines

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.

*Not compatible with ResMed AirCurve 10 VAuto, ASV, ST and ST-A VPAP machines. For optimal run times, please remove/disable your machine's heated humidifier and heated tubing. Charge battery periodically if not used regularly.

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.

The Pilot 24-Lite is FAA and TSA compliant and can be packed in your carry-on luggage.
On average pressures, the battery can provide up to 2 nights of runtime with the humidifier disabled and a non heated hose. 

Higher pressures, excessive mask leak and the use of a humidifier and heated tube will significantly decrease the runtime. 
Charge times via the ResMed AirSense 10, S9 or the Medistrom Pilot-24 AC adapter is approximately 2-3 hours. Charge time via the ResMed AirMini AC adapter is approximately 7-9 hours.
AC power: Medistrom Pilot-24 AC adapter (sold separately) or your machine’s AC adapter
DC power: 12V DC adapter/car charger (sold separately) 
Solar power: Medistrom solar panel (sold separately)
The Pilot 24-Lite has a USB port (5V 2.5A Out) for charging smartphones and other personal electronics.

11–20 of 29 Questions
Q. Is this compatible with a ResMed AirSense 10 machine? What cables/connectors are not included that I need to but separately?
A. Yes, it is. Everything you need to use it with your Airsense 10 comes with it.
Q. Confused by the answers. When asked about average run time...one answer says
"On a pressure of 10 cm H2O, without humidifier and heated hose, average run time is 12 hours."
and just a few questions later the answer says
"Depending on your pressures, if the humidifier and heated tube was running you may get 24 hour max. Less if you run a higher pressure."
So which is it?? It DOES make a difference!
A. With my experience the battery is best ran with no heated tube or humidifier and depending on your pressure it will depend on the hour usage. I have seen where it can last 12-15 hours but I am sorry I have not seen the 24 hours but again it may depend on if they have a really low pressure. Best to always try it before leaving so you have an idea
Q. Is this battery cleared for FAA travel on air planes ?
A. Yes it is FAA approved. We always advise contacting Airlines prior to your flight to check on rules and regulations.
Q. Medistrom Backup Power Supply model #P24MPLBPI clearly states is compatible for my Bipap machine Resmed AirCurve 10 ASV. Then at bottom of description the info states NOTE: Not compatible with following machines (my machine included). Please explain is it or not compatible? I prefer not to order and then find out it does not work and paid $339 FOR MACHINE.
A. Hi there! It is not compatible with the ASV.
Q. How many Amp hrs.?
A. The battery capacity is 95Wh and outputs at 24V so it would be 3.96Ah
Q. What do I need for an adapter in order to use this with my Resmed Airmini?
A. No adapter is required for the Airmini. Only the Airsense 11.
Q. Is this compatible with the Resmed Airsense 11.
A. Thanks for reaching out to Respshop. Yes, Medistrom Backup Power Supply is compatible with ResMed AirSense 11 (cable kit required and sold separately). It requires a cable kit to work with Resmed 11. https://www.respshop.com/cpap-supplies/battery-power/medistrom-pilot-lite-cpap-battery-cable-kit-for-resmed-airsense-11-p-1808.html. Thanks
Q. Is this compatible with an Air curve ST. Not sure about the difference with an ST. Just need in case of temporary power outage.
A. Unfortunately, the Medistrom Pilot 24 is not compatible with the Aircurve ST.
Q. My battery didn't come with a charging cable! What do I do?
A. The Medistrom Pilot 24 Lite battery is designed to charge with your CPAP machine's cable. If you are in need of another one, you can get a dedicated charging cable here: https://www.respshop.com/cpap-supplies/battery-power/medistrom-power-adapter-for-pilot-lite-p-1225.html
Q. Can I use this battery for powering things other than my CPAP?
A. There is a USB port on the Medistrom Pilot 24 Lite battery which will allow you to use the battery to power any USB powered device (like your cell phone!)

Subject: Good for my needs.
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.

Subject: Great Battery
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.

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.

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.
