Update, speak-of-the-devil dep't: Just after I posted that, I got a call from someone at The CPAP Shop in reply to my email of late Friday night about the failed battery. A rather embarrassed-sounding young man reported that they'd called the manufacturer, who confirmed that it's not supposed to do that (gee, you think?), so they're drop shipping a replacement. So that's nice. Should be here in a couple days. Hands to finger-crossing stations...
