OutBack MPPT Battery Charge Management System - MX60
Please note: the MX60 has been superseded by the Outback FM60
The OutBack MX60 Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller enables your PV system to achieve its highest possible performance. Rated for up to 60 amps of DC output current, the OutBack MX60 can be used with battery systems from 12 to 60 Volts DC with PV open circuit voltage as high as 125 Volts DC. The MX60's setpoints are fully adjustable to allow use with virtually any battery type, chemistry and charging profile.
The OutBack MX60 comes standard with an easy to use and understand display of the PV systemÆs performance. The four line, 80 character, backlit LCD display is also used for programming and monitoring of the systemÆs operation.
