Described herein is a respiratory therapy system comprising: a primary power supply, a secondary power supply, and a breathing apparatus configured to provide respiratory therapy. The breathing apparatus comprises a controller. There is a connection between the primary power supply and the breathing apparatus configured to facilitate transmission of power and data between the primary power supply and the breathing apparatus. The controller is configured to monitor a parameter of the primary power supply, and disengage the primary power supply if the parameter differs from a parameter threshold. The controller is configured to engage the secondary power supply on disconnection of the primary power supply such that the breathing apparatus can continue operation without interruption.
