Description
Quick answer: This is the genuine ResMed DC cable (part 24960) that connects the ResMed Power Station II (RPS II) external battery to S8-series VPAP machines — specifically the S8 VPAP Auto 25, VPAP S, and VPAP ST. The cable runs from the RPS II to the device (plugging into the same port as the machine’s power supply), so you can run the machine on battery away from mains power. Note: the RPS II won’t power or charge for this device without the correct cable, and this cable is device-specific — it works only with the S8 VPAP models listed. Battery and device not included. (This is the US/Americas configuration — see the note below.)
What’s included
- 1 × DC cable for RPS II → S8 VPAP series (part 24960)
RPS II battery, power supply, and device not included.
About this part
The ResMed Power Station II (RPS II) is an external lithium-ion battery for running CPAP/BiLevel therapy when mains power isn’t available (camping, travel, RVs, power outages). To use it, you need the DC cable made for your specific device — the cable is what carries power from the RPS II to the machine.
This cable (24960) is the one for the S8 VPAP series:
- S8 VPAP Auto 25
- S8 VPAP S
- S8 VPAP ST
It plugs into the same DC port the device’s normal power supply uses. Without this cable, the RPS II can’t power the S8 VPAP — it’s an essential piece, not an optional extra.
Device-specific — important: RPS II DC cables are not interchangeable between device families. This one is for the S8 VPAP series only — it is not for S9, AirSense 10 / AirCurve 10 (those use different cables: S9 = 24961; Air10 = 37343), nor for Stellar or other devices. Order the cable that matches your exact machine.
Older device note: the S8 series is an older generation of ResMed devices. If you use an S8 VPAP, this cable lets you keep it running on battery — though you may also want to ask about upgrading to a current AirSense/AirCurve machine.
Regional naming note
ResMed’s part 24960 is listed as the S8 DC cable in US/Americas documentation (compatible with S8 VPAP Auto 25 / VPAP S / VPAP ST). Some non-US ResMed catalogues list 24960 differently (e.g. as a VPAP IV DC cable) due to regional device availability. This listing follows the US/Americas configuration — S8 VPAP. If you’re unsure which cable your device needs, contact us with your exact machine model and we’ll confirm.

Frequently asked questions
What does this cable do?
It connects the ResMed Power Station II (RPS II) battery to an S8-series VPAP machine, so the machine can run on battery power. The RPS II can’t power the device without it.
Which devices does it work with?
The S8 VPAP Auto 25, VPAP S, and VPAP ST (US/Americas configuration).
Will it work with my S9 or AirSense 10?
No — those use different cables (S9 = 24961; AirSense 10 / AirCurve 10 = 37343). This cable is for the S8 VPAP series only.
Do I also need anything else?
You need the RPS II battery itself, and (for charging) the appropriate power supply/adapter. The cable is device-specific; the battery is common across devices.
Why does my part say something different in another country?
Regional catalogues sometimes number these cables differently. In US/Americas docs, 24960 is the S8 cable. Contact us with your device model if you’re unsure.
Do I need a prescription?
No — this accessory does not require a prescription.
Can I get it delivered in Brooklyn or shipped nationwide?
Yes — Stark Medical Supplies offers local pickup and delivery in Brooklyn and across NYC, plus USPS shipping throughout the continental U.S.
Use with a genuine ResMed Power Station II and a compatible S8 VPAP device according to the RPS II and device user guides. Confirm your exact device model before ordering.
