The power supply control unit is integrated into the miniature [[fusion reactor]] located on the back of the MJOLNIR suit. It provides power distribution to the suit's functions and can be overloaded when too much power is allocated to one function or all functions for long periods of time. An example would be overcharging the shields, getting them drained, and then recharging them over a sustained period, such as when [[John-117]] fought the overwhelming [[Flood]] for days during the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. While fitting the Master Chief with new armor on ''[[Cairo Station]]'', [[Unidentified master gunnery sergeant|an unnamed gunnery sergeant]] suggested that the power supply to his suit had sustained heavy damage from his use of it.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', ''[[The Heretic]]''</ref> Additionally, [[Cortana]] had used the power supply to power a jump using Halo's [[teleportation grid]] that she suggested wouldn't cause permanent damage to the power supply. This likely contributed to the damage his power supply had taken.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[Two Betrayals]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''Chapter 10''</ref | The power supply control unit is integrated into the miniature [[fusion reactor]] located on the back of the MJOLNIR suit.

Destroying or disabling the control unit will instantaneously render the armor inert. This was demonstrated during the [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE|crisis]] on [[Gao]] in [[2553#July|July 2553]], after [[Special Inspector]] [[Veta Lopis]] detonated a small explosive she had placed in the power supply control unit of [[Fred-104]]'s [[CENTURION-class Mjolnir|Mjolnir armor]], leaving the suit entirely without power.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page ??''</ref> | Destroying or disabling the control unit will instantaneously render the armor inert.
