This Pilot Flex is the new addition to the Medistrom CPAP Batteries, and unlike the Pilot-12, Pilot-24 and Pilot-19 Lite series which are specific to different CPAP machines, this new Pilot Flex is one battery (in a choice of two colours - Charcoal Black or Navy Blue) and is designed to work with the most CPAP machines. The only essential extra needed will be the compatible cable kit for the CPAP machine (unless you have a Resmed AirMini Travel CPAP Machine as the cable kit is included with the Pilot Flex).
The Pilot Flex is cast out of aluminum and never uses plastic. The sleek aluminum body serves as a superior heat dissipation mechanism to help prevent overheating and damage to the internal components during operation, unlike batteries using plastic shells.
Utilizing aluminum casing greatly extends the total lifespan and durability of the Pilot Flex! When batteries power devices, heat is generated internally which causes the outer casing to expand and warp. Because aluminum is an incredible malleable metal, the outer shell of the Pilot Flex can easily return back to its original structure without becoming cracked, dented, or warped during extended usage.
