your specific application.
ResMed DC-24/30 Converter
ResMed supplies the DC-24/30 Converter (product code: 22015) which is
compatible with the DC input of the VPAP III ST-A. This is an accessory that may
be purchased separately through your ResMed distributor.
The DC-24/30 Converter can be connected to a 12V or 24V battery, or a cigarette
lighter socket (in a vehicle). When using a DC power supply, the power is turned
on and off via the switch on the converter, and not the power switch at the back
of the VPAP III ST-A. No power will be supplied to the HumidAire 2i integrated
humidifier when connected to a VPAP III ST-A using a converter.
Please refer to the DC-24/30 Converter instructions for further details.

The case temperature should be less than 122°F at an ambient temperature of
