Enjoy the freedom to charge the Oxlife Independence portable concentrator where you are, instead of being restricted to a single at home charging solution. Of course you can still choose to charge the Oxlife at home with the AC power supply.

When using the DC power supply the Oxlife Independence will be powered and operate on all settings, but will only charge up to a continuous settings of 2LPM and up to a setting of 4 on pulse.
Many oxygen patients that suffer from COPD or another chronic lung disease also suffer from sleep apnea. Enjoy the benefits of supplemental oxygen and then at night be able to use a CPAP or BiPAP machine in congruence with the exact same machine. The Oxlife Independence is compatible with CPAP and BiPAP machines for patients that need it.

The Oxlife Independence weighs 19.4 pounds with both batteries installed. Without any batteries installed the unit weighs 16.7 pounds.
The Oxlife stands 10.9” W x 8” D x 20.2” H making it one of the slimmest units in its class. It will fit underneath the seat in front of you on any commercial flight.
The Oxlife Independence has the ability to run on one or two batteries at a time. With one battery you can get up to 3 hours of use on a pulse flow setting of 2 or you can get up to 1.25 hours on a continuous flow setting of 2 LPM. With two batteries you can get up to 5.75 hours of use on a pulse flow setting of 2 or you can get up to 2.5 hours of use on a continuous flow setting of 2 LPM.
You can recharge your Oxlife batteries a total of 3 different ways using the AC power supply, DC power supply, or the external battery charger. The AC power supply and external battery charger are the most effective ways to recharge your batteries as the DC power supply limits what oxygen settings you can use your concentrator on while still recharging your batteries.
If you are recharging one battery at a time, you can expect it to take up to 1.5 hours to achieve a full charge. If you are recharging two batteries at a time, you can expect both batteries to achieve a full charge in 2.5 hours. If you are using your concentrator while you recharge your batteries you can expect the time to be a little longer than the specified time.
The Oxlife Independence offers both continuous flow and pulse flow oxygen delivery modes. On continuous flow the Oxlife offers settings 0.5-3.0 LPM and on pulse flow it offers settings 0.5-6.0.
On a setting of 2.0 LPM the Oxlife registers at 40 decibels, which is quieter than most continuous flow portable oxygen concentrators.
The Oxlife has an operating altitude range of 0-13,123 feet. If you go above 13,123 feet the concentrator’s performance may suffer.
