Built-In UPS Technology
More than a conventional portable power bank
Zopec Explore batteries combine portable reserve power with built-in UPS functionality. When correctly connected, the system is designed to use incoming power during normal operation and transition to battery power when an interruption is detected.
Wall-Power Pass-Through
During normal operation, incoming power supplies the connected equipment while the battery remains available for backup.
Power-Outage Detection
The system monitors incoming power and detects when the external supply is interrupted.
Automatic Battery Transition
The connected equipment transitions to reserve battery power without requiring the user to manually reconnect the power source.
This differs from a simple battery that must be manually connected after an outage and from a system that continually cycles its internal battery while connected to mains power.
The complete device, power connection and battery configuration should be tested before relying on the system for backup use.

Understanding Battery Runtime
Why CPAP battery runtime varies
Battery runtime is determined by more than battery capacity. Therapy pressure, machine model, humidifier level, heated tubing, bilevel operation, accessories, battery condition and ambient conditions can all change the result.
1
CPAP without heated humidification
This generally provides the longest available battery runtime because the therapy device is the primary connected load.
2
CPAP with heated humidifier
Heating water uses additional energy and can materially reduce the available operating time.
3
CPAP with humidifier and heated tube
Using both heating systems creates the highest demand and usually produces the shortest operating time.
4
BiPAP or bilevel therapy
Bilevel devices may consume more energy because pressure changes throughout the breathing cycle.
Zopec's general runtime guidance indicates that humidifier use may reduce runtime by approximately 50–60%, while humidifier and heated-tube use together may reduce runtime by approximately 70–80%. Actual results vary by equipment and settings.
Information required for a runtime review:
- CPAP, APAP or BiPAP manufacturer
- Exact device model
- Therapy pressure
- Humidifier setting
- Heated-tube setting
- Required operating duration
- Battery model being considered
Manufacturer runtime tables are indicative and should not replace testing with the customer's actual device and settings.
Portable Power Applications
From home CPAP backup to portable everyday power
Zopec Explore batteries are general-purpose portable power systems that can support selected CPAP configurations and a range of small electronic equipment.
CPAP Power-Outage Backup
Maintain a connected backup-power option for selected home CPAP configurations.
CPAP Travel
Portable power for suitable CPAP machines during road trips, accommodation stays and other travel situations.
Camping and Caravanning
Battery power for suitable CPAP devices and smaller electronics when conventional mains power is unavailable.
Laptop and Tablet Power
Portable charging for compatible USB-C laptops, tablets and mobile devices.
Home Connectivity
Temporary power for selected internet modems, lights and small electronic equipment.
Emergency Preparedness
A portable reserve-power option for selected household electronics during temporary outages.
Confirm the equipment power requirement, output connection and expected operating time before use.
Travelling With Lithium Batteries
Check current airline requirements before travelling
Lithium-battery transport rules depend on battery capacity, whether the item is treated as a power bank or medical-device battery, the airline and the current aviation requirements. Airline policies can be more restrictive than general regulatory guidance.
Explore Mini DC — 99.5 Wh
The Explore Mini sits within the up-to-100 Wh battery category. It should be carried in cabin baggage and protected against damage and short circuit. Current airline rules and quantity limits must still be checked before departure.
Explore 5500 AC — 160 Wh
The Explore 5500 is in the 100–160 Wh category. Do not describe it as universally approved for passenger air travel. Obtain written confirmation from the airline and check current Australian and international requirements before travel.
Before flying:
- Confirm the battery capacity shown on the product label
- Contact the airline before travel
- Carry the battery in cabin baggage
- Protect terminals and connections
- Keep the battery accessible
- Do not travel with a damaged, swollen or recalled battery
- Check rules for connecting or charging the battery onboard
Airline and international rules can change. Approval for one flight or airline does not guarantee approval for another.
Choose With Confidence
How to select the right Zopec Explore battery
1
Identify the equipment
Provide the CPAP, APAP, BiPAP or electronic-device manufacturer and exact model.
2
Confirm the connection
Determine whether the device requires an Australian AC connection, model-specific DC cable or supported USB-C connection.
3
Review runtime requirements
Consider therapy pressure, humidifier, heated tubing, expected operating time and charging access.
4
Consider travel and charging
Review battery size, weight, vehicle charging, air-travel requirements and accessory needs.
Choose Explore 5500 AC when:
- An AC-output connection is preferred
- Higher battery capacity is required
- Home power-outage backup is the primary application
- Portability is useful but smallest size is not the main priority
Choose Explore Mini DC when:
- Compact size and low weight are important
- The equipment has a supported DC cable
- USB-C charging is useful
- Travel and portability are the main priorities
