Outback FlexMax 60 charge controller

The FLEXmax 60 is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power Systems. The FLEXmax 60's innovative MPPT algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your renewable energy yield up to 30%. Thanks to enhanced cooling, the FLEXmax 60 can operate at its full 60 amp maximum current rating in ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C).

Included in the FLEXmax 60 are all of the features first developed by OutBack Power in the revolutionary MX60, such as support for a wide range of nominal battery voltages and the ability to step-down a high voltage solar array to recharge a low voltage battery. A built-in backlit display shows status information at the touch of a button. Enhanced network communications allow the FLEXmax 60 to be remotely programmed via the optional MATE system display and controller.

The new FLEXmax 60 is the only choice when you demand a high performance, efficient and customizable charge controller for your advanced power system.

Features:

  • Increases PV Array Output by up to 30%
  • Advanced Continuous Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm
  • Full Output Capacity in Ambient Temperatures up to 104°F (40°C)
  • Battery Voltages from 12 VDC to 60 VDC
  • Automatic Battery Voltage Detection at Start Up
  • Fully OutBack Network Integrated and Programmable
  • Programmable Auxiliary Control Output
  • Negative or Positive Ground System Capable
  • Built-in 128 days of Data Logging
