e FLEXmax family of charge controllers is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power Technologies. e innovative FLEXmax
MPPT soware algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your photovoltaic array power
yield up to 30% compared to non-MPPT controllers. anks to active cooling and intelligent
thermal management cooling, both FLEXmax charge controllers can operate at their full maximum
current rating, 60 amps or 80 amps respectively, in ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C).
Included in all of the FLEXmax Charge Controllers are the revolutionary features rst developed by
OutBack Power, including support for a wide range of nominal battery voltages and the ability to
step-down a higher voltage solar array to recharge a lower voltage battery bank. A built-in, backlit
80-character display shows the current status and logged system performance data for the last 128
days at the touch of a button. e integrated OutBack network communications allows FLEXmax
Series Charge Controllers to be remotely programmed and monitored via a MATE system display
and provides unrivaled complete system integration.
FLEXmax MPPT Charge Controllers are the only choice when you demand a high-performance,
ecient and versatile charge controller for your advanced power system.
