Hi,
My mum is using a Breas Vivo 40 bipap 24/7.
The internal battery needs replacement as it only runs for 10 minutes instead of 1 hour now.
We are thinking of getting an external battery.
Does anyone has any experience with getting a compatible external battery for their bipap?
I was given the following options:
Original External battery -
last at least 3 hours and last max 5 hours
23cm x 23cm, 8kg
Compatible external battery -
last max about 6-8 hours
26cm x 23cm x 17cm (height), 15kg
I never knew those portable batteries for bipap are so heavy and my concern is that the compatible (not original brand) battery must cause problems later.
Would appreciate any advice regarding purchasing of a compatible battery.
Joelc once told me I can build one myself, but I cannot find the link and am doubtful about my own skills.
