Outback FM60, 60Amp, MPPT Charge Controller
OutBack Power, based out of Arlington,WA and founded in 2001, is an off-grid inverter manufacturer. By keeping their focus specifically on battery based systems, they have become a leader and innovator in this type of application.

Continuous Maximum Power Point Tracking Charge Controllers:

Increases PV Array Output by up to 30%
Advanced Continuous Maximum Power Point Tracking
Full Power Output in Ambient Temperatures up to 104°F (40C)
Battery Voltages from 12 VDC to 60 VDC
Fully Output Network Integrated and Programmable
Programmable Auxiliary Control Output
Built-in 128 days of Data Logging

The FLEXmax family of charge controllers is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from OutBack Power Systems. The innovative FLEXmax MPPT software algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your renewable energy yield up to 30% compared to non-MPPT controllers. Thanks to active cooling and intelligent thermal management cooling, the 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 first developed by OutBack Power, including 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 back lit 80 character display shows status information and logged system performance data for the last 128 days at the touch of a button. The integrated OutBack network communications allow the FLEXmax series charge controller 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, efficient and versatile charge controller for your advanced power system.
