I know many of you are on Cpap machines and i just started using one myself.
I called the supplier a few days ago to get a price on a power supply and was quoted $190.00 That blew me away. I have seen on Amazon a few listed considerably cheaper and I am wondering what some of you have done.........? My machine is an, AirSense10 Autoset Any and all advice / experience is appreciated. Thanks Folks |

I don't CPAP, but I do 12v..
Your owners manual should give you the specs of the 12v input, or it may say right on the case of the CPAP. Google your model number if needed. I assure you there is nothing magical about the factory power supply, besides the price. Any power supply that puts out the proper voltage will work. It looks, by the manual, that it's power supply provides 24v with a max use of 107 watts.. So a dc to dc converter of the proper size, and plugs to match the input for the DC input is what you would need. This converter appears to fit the bill.. You will need to wire in a 12v plug on the input side, and the proper two pin cannon plug on the CPAP side.. |

The cpap company makes a 12v power cord that you can plug into your machine and a 12v socket.
I think the cord from the company is 60.00 give or taker a couple. Or you can get the same cord with an adapter from radio shack for about 20 dollars. |

Leo If I am understanding you correctly the power supply that is currently running my machine will also power my machine when I connect it to 12 volts. Looking on the back of my power supply I do see some info regarding 24 volts? So the only thing I need is the proper cord? Dave |

Yes, we didnt have a radio shack close, so I just bought the 12v cord from the cpap company that replaces the power cord on your machine ( plugs in the same hole) and the into the 12v plugs we added to the pod. Works great.

I bought mine from CPAP.COM, that is a DC Converter 24V 90W For AirSense 10 and AirCurve 10 Machines, for $84. It works great. I turn off the humidity chamber and do without it to conserve power.

I went 12V on mine too. I can't remember where I bought it, but it wasn't horribly expensive. At first, I made a socket with one quick disconnect male to plug into an open fuse slot in the fuse/breaker panel and a clip that I attached to a ground point. I added a 15' extension and it worked great.
I've since installed a 12V socket. UPDATE: The website was thecpappeople.com and the cord for my Respironics CPAP was $24.50, but it doesn't have to step up the voltage like yours apparently does, which explains the higher price. |
