How long should I get? [Battery use]

[Mike97]

HI,

New here. I just bought a PowerGorilla battery and I used it with my Resmed 10 (pressure 13) and I got about 10 hours before the battery dipped to 10% power left. The battery is rated for 88 watts and I thought I would get 15 hours so I am a little surprised at how quickly it drained. I do use a 12 volt to 12 volt connect kit with the cigarette lighter attachment so no 120 volt connection.

Does anyone know how long I should have gotten? My old 97 watt battery would give me 17 or 17.5 hours, basically two plus nights and I am disappointed at the one night of power.

Thanks,
Mike

Are you using the humidifier and ClimateLine? If so, that is where all you spare power went.

[Mike97]

Humidifier off and climate line not in use. So I am wondering if the battery is older and not holding all the power it should.

Thanks for replying,
Mike

The battery is described as a power pack with 24000mAh/88Wh. Let's compare with the MaxOak 50000mAh(3.7V)/185Wh (130W) Max. Members report getting 2-1/2 nights out of the MaxOak, on DC-DC power, and it has twice the rating, so sounds about right.

Thanks SleepRider. That gives me some reassurance. 

Too bad you can not fly with a MaxOak 5000maH.

Cheers,
Mike

Well, you CAN fly with one.  Just not far/quickly/safely.  Pick any two.

You can fly with a MaxOak 5000maH???

I thought TFSA limited it to lithium batteries under 100 watts?

Is it you can not use a battery over 100 watts during flight?

Thanks,
Mike

I was being facetious.  Sorry....
