Abstract
Mei symmetry of discrete mechanico-electrical systems on a uniform lattice is investigated. The definition and criterion of the discrete analog of Mei symmetry for the system are presented. The condition of existence of the discrete Mei conserved quantity induced directly by Mei symmetry as well as its form is given. Finally, an example is discussed to illustrate these results.
