Medistrom Pilot Flex

98Wh Backup Power Supply for 12V & 24V CPAP

Description

WORLDS SMALLEST BACKUP AND TRAVEL CPAP BATTERY

Measuring just 17 cubic inches and weighing slightly more than 1 pound, the Pilot Flex is... the smallest and lightest CPAP battery in the World!

​The Pilot Flex is the ultimate CPAP battery for travelling. While using the battery in back-up configuration, say goodbye to bulky nightstand set ups.

WORLDS SAFEST BACKUP AND TRAVEL CPAP BATTERY

The Pilot Flex is cast out of aluminum and never uses plastic. The sleek aluminum body serves as a superior heat dissipation mechanism to help prevent overheating and damage to the internal components during operation, unlike batteries using plastic shells.

​Utilizing aluminum casing greatly extends the total lifespan and durability of the Pilot Flex! When batteries power devices, heat is generated internally which causes the outer casing to expand and warp. Because aluminum is an incredible malleable metal, the outer shell of the Pilot Flex can easily return back to its original structure without becoming cracked, dented, or warped during extended usage.

WORLDS MOST POWERFUL BACKUP AND TRAVEL CPAP BATTERY

The newly designed Pilot Flex has a high capacity of 98Wh allowing for its longest run times yet! This is the most powerful CPAP battery which adheres to the FAA/TSA compliance regulations by remaining under the threshold of 100Wh for all global aircraft.

Dual Voltage Technology

The Pilot Flex combines our previous battery capabilities making it compatible with both 12V and 24V machines. You no longer need to purchase different batteries based upon the CPAP machine you use! The battery will automatically detect the CPAP machine's voltage, leaving you free from having to adjust any settings.

Travel Friendly

Our batteries are FAA/TSA compliant having a 98Wh capacity- just below the 100Wh threshold limit imposed by the airlines. The compact size and weight make it extremely portable and easy to bring on all your travels! The Pilot Flex makes travelling with your CPAP device easier than ever!

Longer Run Times

With an average run time of 16 hours, the Pilot Flex yields up to 30% more battery life than the Pilot Lites. Need more power? You can connect multiple Pilot Flex batteries together for an even stronger, longer lasting run time.

Always Aluminum, Never Plastic

Pilot Flex's aluminum casing redefines the meaning of modernity and durability! Using aluminum instead of plastics ensures the battery will be long lasting, corrosion resistant, and less prone to internal damage! Aluminum is both lightweight and extremely durable.

FAQs

How do I piggyback two Pilot Flex batteries together to increase the capacity?
  1. Insert the yellow tipped end of the DC output cable into the DC-out port of the first battery.
  2. Insert the other end of the DC output cable into the charge port of the second battery.
Which cables will I need to piggyback Pilot Flex batteries together?
  1. If you are using a 12V PAP device such as the Dreamstation, you will need the DC output cable for the Dreamstation to link two Flex batteries together.
  2. If you are using a 24V PAP device such as the ResMed Airsense 10/11, you will need the DC output cable for the Airsense 10 to link two Flex batteries together.
Why is my compatible CPAP not turning on when I connect the Pilot Flex battery to it?
  1. Press the multifunction button to start the CPAP.
  2. Check the charge level.
  3. Make sure that all the cable connections are inserted all the way.
Why is my CPAP displaying an error message (ex. check power, power at rear of device not inserted properly)?

Likely means that the DC output cable is faulty and will need to be replaced.

Why is my Pilot Flex battery overheating?

The USB-C port has a maximum input of 45W. Check if your charger and USB-C cable support 45W charging.

Why won't my AirMini cable stay connected to the machine?
  1. The AirMini DC output cable sometimes requires extra force to completely connect to the CPAP machine.
  2. Ensure the rubber section of the cable is inserted into the AirMini until the flange on the cable is flush with the CPAP cable port.
