Dock MINI may be placed securely on a flat level surface.
For mobile cart applications, the plastic feet may be removed and the PowerDock MINI may be fastened securely
to a cart in the following configurations.

base of the LT Series where holes are pre-drilled.

Will be installed by Newcastle Systems before shipping to customer.
Your existing 3rd-party cart:

Storage and Disposal
Operating Guidelines
Storage and Disposal
Storage Instructions:
• DO NOT SHORT TERMINALS.
• This battery should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Sustained elevated temperatures are
the primary reason for premature failure of batteries. Charge batteries at room temperature. In warm cli-
mates, keep chargers in air conditioned rooms for best performance.
• Although our batteries have good self-discharge characteristics, batteries should be stored for long term
storage in a fully charged condition.
• It is always a good idea to submit the battery to a discharge/charge cycle from time to time during storage.
• Do not store batteries in temperatures above 140oF/60oC or below -40oF/-20oC. Do not store in direct sun-
light or near heating equipment.
Disposal Instructions:
• DO NOT INCINERATE. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
• Disposal must be in compliance with applicable regulations which vary depending on national, state/provin-
cial and local basis. This battery contains recyclable materials so recycling is strongly recommended.
PowerDock MINI Operating Instructions
Step 2: Place fully charged batteries
in PowerDock MINI Station. Make sure
battery is fully engaged and the LED
lights on the battery are lit. *Batter-
ies should be inserted firmly, but never
slammed into place.
Step 3: Turn PowerDock MINI
Station on (-) (switch located as
shown). LED should light green.
When unit is not in use, turn the PowerDock MINI OFF. Batteries will continue to drain if unit is left on.
Tip: Monitor battery status with the LED meter on battery. When batteries become low, alarm will sound and bat-
tery should be swapped with a fully charged one.
Step 1: Confirm your device(s) is
plugged into the AC outlet(s).

PowerCharge MINI Operating Instructions
PowerCharge MINI Operating Instructions
Step 1: Connect charge cord to rear of charge dock and plug in at wall outlet.
Step 2: Place discharged battery in PowerCharge MINI Station. Make sure battery is fully engaged. *Batteries
should be inserted firmly, but never slammed into place.
Step 3: Confirm LED changes color from green to orange during charge. Note: LED will turn green once fully
charged.
Charging time of the PWC1M takes approximately 3 hours to charge fully depleted batteries.
Replaceable Fuse: This is located on the front of the PowerCharge MINI to protect from DC overload. The AC
fuse is internal and non-replaceable. If DC fuse blows, replace with equivalent, fast-acting, 125 V, 15A rated 5 mm
x 20 mm glass fuse. CAUTION: Installing non-rated fuses could cause equipment damage and void your warranty.
