Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What machine cables are included with the Pilot Flex?

A: The Pilot Flex includes one cable for the ResMed AirMini.
Cables for all other CPAP machines are sold separately.

Q: Do Pilot Lite cables work with the Pilot Flex?

A: No. The Pilot Flex is not backward compatible with cables from the Pilot Lite battery. You’ll need Pilot Flex–specific cables for your CPAP machine.

Q:  How do I connect (piggyback) two Pilot Flex batteries together?

A:  To increase runtime, you can link two Pilot Flex batteries:

  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 cable into the charging port of the second battery.

This allows the first battery to supply power to the second for extended use.

Q: Which cable do I need to piggyback two Pilot Flex batteries?

A: The required cable depends on your CPAP machine voltage:

  • 12V CPAP machines (e.g., Philips DreamStation):
    Use the DreamStation DC output cable
  • 24V CPAP machines (e.g., ResMed AirSense 10 or AirSense 11):
    Use the AirSense 10 DC output cable

Q: Why is my battery charging slowly with USB-C?

A: The USB-C port supports up to 45W input. If charging seems slow, check that:

  • Your USB-C power adapter supports 45W output
  • Your USB-C cable is rated for 45W charging

Lower-wattage chargers will result in longer recharge times.

Q: How do I connect the Pilot Flex to my CPAP machine?

A: Step-by-step setup instructions are available on Medistrom’s YouTube channel, including both Travel Mode and Backup Power Mode configurations for supported CPAP devices.

Q: Why won’t my AirMini cable stay connected?

A: The AirMini DC output cable may require firm pressure to fully seat:

  • Make sure the rubber section of the cable is pushed in completely
  • The flange should sit flush with the AirMini’s cable port

A loose connection may prevent proper power delivery.

Q: Can I charge the Pilot Flex using the USB-A port?

A:  No. The USB-A port is for output only and cannot be used to charge the battery.
Charging is supported via the USB-C port or compatible AC, car, or solar charging accessories.
