Traveling with the EXP48PRO APEX: Airline Rules for Your CPAP Battery

For CPAP users who travel, the EXP48PRO APEX offers an excellent balance of portable power and airline-friendly capacity. At 153.6 Wh, it falls within the FAA’s 160 Wh maximum for larger lithium batteries carried by passengers.

Because the EXP48PRO APEX is between 101–160 Wh, airline approval is required before travel. Once approved, up to two EXP48PRO APEX batteries per person may be carried, and they must remain in carry-on baggage with their terminals protected from short circuit.

With the right preparation and airline approval, the EXP48PRO APEX gives CPAP travelers dependable portable power without exceeding the FAA’s 160 Wh limit.

If you're flying for work or leisure, you can confidently pack your EXP48PRO batteries in your carry-on. No need to worry about leaving your reliable CPAP power source behind or struggling to find compatible power at your destination. Designed for convenience, the EXP48PRO is lightweight, compact, and the perfect travel companion.

Whether you’re crossing time zones, heading off on an outdoor adventure, or even planning a long-haul flight, the EXP48PRO ensures your CPAP machine stays powered and your therapy uninterrupted. With the ability to bring two batteries on board, you’ll have enough power for several nights without needing to recharge.

Tips for Flying with Your EXP48PRO APEX

• Get Airline Approval Before Flying: Because the EXP48PRO APEX is 153.6 Wh, airline approval is required. Contact your operating airline before your trip and confirm approval for your battery. If you plan to use your CPAP during the flight, also confirm the airline’s requirements for in-flight medical-device use.

• Use During the Flight: If you plan to use your CPAP machine during the flight, check with your airline in advance to understand their policies. Some may require additional documentation for in-flight use.
• Pack Smart: Place your EXP48PRO batteries in your carry-on luggage, as lithium-ion batteries are prohibited in checked baggage. Ensure your batteries are properly protected to avoid damage during transit.
