Outback MX 60 MPPT Charge Controller
                                     
The Outback MX60 Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controller enables your PV system to achieve its highest possible performance. The MPPT feature can give you up to 30% more power from your PV Panels!

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 setpoints 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.
