Should I Use My Humidifier or Heated Hose When Using the Go-Battery?Updated 6 months ago
When operating your CPAP on battery power, it is recommended to disable both the humidifier and any heated hose functions. These accessories significantly increase power consumption and can reduce the battery’s runtime, potentially leading to premature shutdown of your CPAP device. For uninterrupted battery-powered operation, using your CPAP in “dry” mode is advised.
If humidification is essential to your therapy, consider using alternative passive methods that do not require active heating. The goal is to balance comfort with power efficiency so that your CPAP session can last throughout the night without interruption. Disabling these features ensures that the battery’s full capacity is available for critical therapy functions.
