Overview
- The PowerShield DC Mini is a compact, efficient uninterruptible power supply designed to keep small DC-powered devices running during mains power failures. Built around a replaceable lithium-ion battery with an embedded micro-controller, the DC Mini automatically activates when plugged in, requiring no user intervention or setup.
This plug pack UPS is purpose-built for Australian small businesses and office environments where continuous connectivity is essential. Common applications include backup power for routers, modems (including fibre optic ONT devices), VOIP phone systems, surveillance equipment, and alarm systems. The 18W capacity and 1.5A output handle the typical power draw of these devices, allowing several hours of operation during an outage.
Comprehensive protection circuits safeguard against overload, short-circuit, over-charge, and reverse-polarity faults, ensuring both device safety and battery longevity. The multi-colour LED indicator provides at-a-glance visibility of battery status and operating state. With a 2-year warranty and easy battery replacement, the DC Mini offers cost-effective emergency power without the complexity of larger UPS systems.
