The primary function is to provide continuous power to the Inogen oxygen concentrator and recharge its lithium-ion battery when plugged into a wall outlet.
They feature auto-sensing technology, adapting to input voltages from 100V to 240V, which makes them suitable for international travel (though a physical plug adapter may be required for non-North American outlets).
Users can operate the concentrator and charge the battery at the same time, provided sufficient power is available.
The power supplies are designed to be compact and lightweight, making them easy to transport in a carry bag or backpack.
Original Inogen power supplies (and many quality third-party options) include built-in safeguards against overcurrent, short-circuiting, and overheating for user and device safety.
The package typically includes the main power supply unit, the power output cable to connect to the concentrator, and the AC input cable (wall cord).
Inogen AC power supplies are often designed for specific models (e.g., G4, G5/Rove 6) and are not always cross-compatible due to differing voltage requirements (e.g., some use 19V, others 24V). Always ensure the correct power supply is used for your specific Inogen model to avoid damage.
