OPERATIONS 

POWERmini optimizes the life of the battery by protecting the battery from overcharging or excessive 
discharge.  It accomplishes this by constantly monitoring the battery voltage and solar panel voltage and 
determining the state of charge of the battery. 

POWERmini USB is a programmable device allowing you to configure it to use with different types of 
battery.  

User settings include 

 

Low battery voltage trip point, reset point and early warning of low battery 

 

Automatic disconnect 

 provides protection from deep discharge 

 

Max charge voltage -customize to suit specific battery 

 

Over voltage trip point and reset point 

This section provides information about how to get the most out of your POWERmini. 

Menu Navigation 

Moving between the different screens is accomplished by briefly pressing the SEL button. Each push of 
the button steps the display through the different pages as shown in Figure 4 below.
