Once the POS shields have been damaged down to 25%, the POS may enter reinforced mode.  If there is at least one unit of Strontium Calthrates a timer will appear by the tower in space.  This timer will say "reinforced" along with the length of time remaining before the tower comes out of reinforced mode.  All towers can carry a maximum of around 41.7 hours worth of Strontium Calthrates in their "stront bay" (see the "Capacity2" field on a tower's attributes). If there is not enough Strontium Calthrates in the tower for at least one hour, you can continue straight to final destruction of the POS.

''The math for the stront bay is 50,000 m3 (for a large tower) divided by 3.0 m3 per Strontium Calthrate, give you 16666 units.  A large tower goes through 400 per hour in reinforced mode, giving you 41.665 hours of reinforcement (1d 17h 39m 54s).''

The POS will exit reinforced mode once the Strontium Calthrates run out.  At that point in time the shields will start to regenerate on their own.  The owner of the POS can bring the shields up to the 50% mark by using ships with shield transporter modules (such as Basilisks, Scimitars, Ospreys  i.e. [http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/19084-Osprey-039-POSprey-039.html POSpreys], or any other ship that can fit them and stay cap-stable).  Once the shield has been repaired to 50%, the owner may online any modules/structures that require CPU power.  They may also re-stront the tower so that it will enter reinforced mode again if the shields are lowered again to the 25% mark.

If the attacking force wishes to completely destroy the POS after the reinforcement timer, they should leave a harassing force in place to prevent the repair of guns or other modules outside the POS bubble.
