PWRbox MINI User Manual
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the PWRbox MINI by
Powerwerx. This portable power station is ready to use right
out of the box. Before using your new power box, we suggest
that you first charge the battery (refer to battery charging
instructions). This power box is oered in two models, 10Ah
and 15Ah. These two models are the same unit but dier when
it comes to battery capacity. The 15Ah version provides an
additional 50% longer battery life (refer to operational time
chart below). This unit is perfect for charging smartphones,
tablets, fish finders, handheld GPS, and many other small
12V devices. If the power goes out, or you are camping in a
remote location, the PWRbox Mini can keep your favorite
small devices powered up and ready to go.
DC Power Up To 15A (switched)
The side mounted red backlit circuit breaker switch is rated
at 15 amps maximum and turns on/o power to the blue
digital voltmeter, (2) USB fast QC3.0 charging ports, and the
automotive 12V socket. The voltmeter and USB charger draw a
small parasitic load on the battery even when not in use.
For this reason, it is recommended that you turn the red
toggle switch to the OFF position when not in use.
High Current DC (non-switched)
(2) Anderson Powerpole connectors, compatible with the
PP15/30/45 series, provide high current DC output, wired
directly to the battery and protected by an inline fuse.

Battery Charging
It is recommended that you initially charge your new power
box battery for 8-12 hours before use. We also recommend
you fully charge your power box at least once a month to
maintain the charge. You may safely leave the battery charger
connected continuously to your power box. After using your
power box, it is always recommended you recharge the battery
before storage.
Battery Charger Included
Includes AC-DC battery charger with Anderson Powerpole
connector. Output 14.6VDC, 2A (CC/CV charge profile for
LiFePO4 batteries).
Tips
Never use your power box to jump start a vehicle, as it may
damage the internal battery. Always switch the side red
power switch to OFF when not in use. Close dust covers on
the automotive socket, USB charge ports and Powerpole
connectors when not in use.
We recommend you fully charge your power box at least once
a month to maintain maximum charge.
