SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Failure to observe these instructions properly may result in property
damage or personal injury, which may be serious depending on the
circumstances.
Correct installation is the most critical factor in ensuring the safe use of the MiniBoost.
If every consideration of these instructions has been satisfied the MiniBoost will be safe to
operate.
Batteries are electrically live at all times and must be treated with extreme caution.
Do not allow water or other liquids to enter the power supply area.
Contact with water will cause the device to short-circuit or corrode.
Do not use this product where it is excessively hot, cold, dusty or humid, or where it is
exposed to strong magnetic fields or long periods of sunshine. Such exposure may cause
device.
Clean the housing of the device lightly with a dry or moist cotton cloth. Do not use alcohol,
thinners, benzene or any other chemical cleaner.
This device is a high precision electronic product. It contains no user-serviceable parts
inside. Do not try to dismantle, modify or repair it yourself. Disassembly by unauthorised
persons will void the warranty.
CAUTION
Please read the Safety Precautions carefully before installing the power supply.
After completing the installation, conduct a trial operation to check for faults.

ABOUT
The MiniBoost is intended for the RV market to enable the effective charging of the
Caravan/Camper house battery from the towing vehicle’s electrical system even if
the voltage delivered from the towing vehicle is lower than that normally required to
charge the house battery.
The MiniBoost has been specially designed to work with the BMPRO BatteryPlus35,
J35, ST-III and Genius power supplies, but might also work with other battery
chargers and configurations.
The input fuse is illuminated from behind with a green light when the input voltage is
sufficient for the unit to operate.
The MiniBoost is not a power supply and must be connected to a battery.
If the battery voltage is too low the MiniBoost will not connect.
INSTALLATION
Personnel
Installation is to be carried out only by suitably qualified personnel.
Ventilation, Orientation, and Thermal Considerations
The MiniBoost may be installed in any orientation, but located such that there is free
air movement around the product. This allows for the lowest operating temperature
of the internal electronics and highest reliability of the product.
The MiniBoost should be located in the Caravan preferably close to the House
Battery. The compartment into which the MiniBoost is installed must be well
ventilated to provide adequate ventilation to the outside world (or larger internal
cavity) to prevent excessive heating of the air within the compartment, resulting in
reduced performance.
Required for Installation
Relay 30A
Wire Connector
Anderson tometor
In Line 30A Fuse
Trailer Connector

Figure 1: Mounting Dimensions
Mounting
The MiniBoost should be securely mounted to a suitably strong surface.
Dimensional details are provided in Figure 1 below. It may be mounted in any
orientation.

Wiring
It is recommended that the MiniBoost connect to the vehicle battery through a
30A (min) "Isolating Relay" and Fuse (30A min). The relay function is to prevent the
vehicle battery from being discharged when the vehicle is not in use.

Wire Size
Cables should be sized to carry 30A. The minimum recommended wire size is 5mm²
Wiring resistance inclusive of connectors should be less than 100mR total (Vehicle
battery to MiniBoost input wires). If the circuit resistance (including fuse, relay, and
connectors) is too high, the performance of the MiniBoost may be degraded.
Fusing
Over current protection is provided by a 30A automotive fuse (Green mini-blade).
Always replace with the same type and rating.
