What Voltages Do I Use For My Machine?Updated 6 months ago

Knowing your CPAP’s required DC input voltage is important for using the Go-Battery in the correct setting. Below is a reference guide to the typical DC voltages needed for common CPAP and BiPAP machines from major manufacturers:

  • ResMed AirSense 10 / AirSense 11 / AirCurve 10 (S10 Series): 24 V
  • ResMed AirMini (Travel CPAP): 24 V
  • ResMed S9 Series: 24 V
  • Philips Respironics DreamStation (Original & DreamStation 2) and System One Series: 12 V DC. 
  • Philips Respironics DreamStation Go (Travel CPAP): No direct DC input (Not supported)
  • HDM/Breas Z1 & Z2 Auto (Travel CPAPs): 15 V DC
  • 3B Medical (React Health) Luna II / Luna G3: 12 V DC
  • Somnetics Transcend Mini CPAPs (Travel series including Transcend 3 and Micro): ~15 V DC. 
  • Fisher & Paykel CPAP Machines (Icon, SleepStyle, etc.): No DC option (not supported). Many F&P machines do not have a DC input jack and must be powered via their AC power supply. To run these on a battery, you would need to use a DC-to-AC inverter to plug in the CPAP’s normal power brick. (The Go-Battery is primarily aimed at machines with DC inputs, so F&P units are not directly supported by the included cables.)

Reminder: Always verify your specific model’s requirements. The list above covers the major models and their typical DC voltages. If you’re unsure, check the label on your CPAP’s power adapter or the device manual – it will usually list the output voltage. Then simply set your Go-Battery to that voltage (or to the closest option available). Using the correct voltage is crucial for safe and effective operation. The Go-Battery’s range of 12V–24V output covers nearly all modern CPAPs, making it a truly universal solution for direct DC power.
