When charging the minigorilla from a third party AC/mains

charger outside of this range will not be compatible and may
invalidate your warranty. The minigorilla will auto-detect the

Charging the minigorilla for rest of the details.
• Youcanchargeyourminigorilla, and have it connected to
your netbook and also charging your mobile via the
USB port all at the same time. BUT you can only charge the
 minigorilla with your netbook’s own AC/mains charger in
order for this to work.
When minigorilla is connected to the mains by the netbook’s own
AC/mains charger and is also charging the notebook simultaneously,
the output voltage will be pre-determined by the input voltage (e.g.
ifa12vchargerisused,theminigorillawilloutput12v).
If your device requires lower voltage, disconnect from the mains
and continue charging the device with the minigorilla. If your
device requires higher voltage, you will need to use your netbook’s
AC/mains charger to charge the minigorilla and your device at the
same time. The minigorilla can also be charged from the optional
solargorillasolarpanelandthe16vin-carcharger(bothnot

SolarPower
• Theminigorilla can be charged via the sun using the

• Theminigorilla is equipped with Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) technology. This maximises the solar

• minigorilla will automatically detect when the solargorilla
solar charger is connected and the symbol ‘’ will be
displayed. This will disable the DC OUT port and USB on
the minigorilla. The internal circuits will also turn off to improve
