PowerTop Sides
IMPORTANT:
Do not block air vents on the side of
the unit
Ensure the PowerTop is mounted
upright
Ensure the PowerTop is only used in
a well-ventilated location
Ensure the PowerTop avoids contact
with water
Opening the PowerTop unit or
removing screws voids warranty

Charging
Battery isolator switch must be ON for charging.
Internal Charger
The PowerTop comes with an internal 5A charger. The
charger operates when the AC plug is connected into the
unit and the power switch is turned on.
Fast Charging
If you require faster charging we recommend using a 20A(maximum) charger suited for Gel batteries with the
following Voltage set points:
Bulk 14.8V
Float 13.7V
The external charger is to be connected to the Grey Anderson connector labelled 50A Battery Output.

5
Unregulated DC Supply Connection
If you want to connect a DC source that is unregulated, for example a 12V PV panel (36 Cell) without a regulator it
must be connected to the Red Anderson Connector input labelled Solar/External Charge.
The unit has a built in regulator that will stop the battery from being overcharged.
Vehicle Connection
If you want to connect a vehicle alternator output to the PowerTop connect a cable to the vehicle 12V output e.g.
connect to ciga plug or starter battery on one end of the cable, on the other end of the cable plug into the Blue
Anderson socket labelled Vehicle charge input. The vehicle voltage must be above 13.2V to charge the PowerTop
battery.

6
Load Connection
Battery isolator switch must be ON for load connections.
The Grey Anderson connector load output is protected by a 50A self-resettable thermal breaker. Maximum
recommended load as a guide is under 500W, dependent on ambient temperature.
Loads can also be connected to the following sockets:
Lockon Maximum load/Socket 10A
The Baintech LockOn socket system is designed to ensure your gear such as fridges stays connected on the roughest
trips. It’s easy to use –simply turn the plug clockwise and the locking mechanism engages, ensuring all your essential
gear can stay connected, even on the roughest treks. The connection is also water resistant with an o-ring ensuring
uninterrupted power
Engel Maximum load/Socket 10A
Ciga x 2 Maximum load/Socket 10A
USB Maximum load/Socket 2.3A
Sockets output are protected by a 20A self-resettable thermal breaker. Maximum recommended load across all
sockets as a guide is 200W, dependent on ambient temperature.
50A Max
