The innovative FLEXmax MPPT software algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your photovoltaic array power yield up to 30% compared to non-MPPT controllers. Thanks to active cooling and intelligent thermal management, the FLEXmax 60 can operate at its full 60 amp maximum current rating in ambient temperatures as high as 104°F (40°C). Included are revolutionary features first 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. The integrated OutBack Power network communications allow FLEXmax series charge controllers to be remotely programmed and monitored using the MATE family of system displays, providing unrivaled
