Page 4: About The Miniboost
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.

Page 6: Wiring
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.

Page 8: Wire Size
30Amp Fuse Relay House Ignition Battery Figure 4: to House Battery 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. -
