Rated for up to 60 amps of DC output current, the OutBack MX60 can be used with battery systems from 12 to 60 vdc with a PV open circuit voltage as high as 140 voc. The MX60's set points are fully adjustable to allow use with virtually any battery type, chemistry, and charging profile.The OutBack MX60 allows you to use a higher output voltage PV array with a lower battery voltage - such as charging a 24 vdc battery with a 48 vdc PV array. This reduces wire size and power loss from the PV array to the battery location while maximizing the performance of you system and saving you money!The OutBack MX60 comes standard with an easy to use and understand display. The four line, 80 character, backlit LCD display is used for programming and monitoring of the system's operation including built-in Data Logging with 64 days of memory.
Outback Charge Controller and Accessories Sizing Recommendations for MPPT Charge Controllers:
Please remember that the amperage rating for MPPT Charge Controllers is based on the output current to the battery. The Charge Controller should be sized so that it equals approximately 80% of the incoming PV array amperage. For example, the input array amperage on an MX60 should be limited to 42 amps in order to obtain the maximum boosting advantage to the battery
