Now OutBack follows up on its original breakthrough with another first: an outdoor-rated charge controller with unprecedented thermal management capabilities designed for the most extreme environmental conditions.
The FLEXmax Extreme is engineered around the concept that the strongest chain is one with no weak link.
In the case of charge controller design, the weak link is typically the cooling fan.
Removing the fan removes the greatest obstacle to long service life and high reliability
as fan problems severely limit power output.
FLEXmax Extreme’s advanced thermal engineering provides full power output from -20 to 40°C without requiring a cooling fan. And because a passively cooled unit can be sealed, circuit boards and other sensitive electronics are protected from dust, dirt, insects, and other external sources of contamination.
Nominal DC Input Voltage 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60VDC
Maximum Output Current 80A @ 45°C with adjustable current limit
PV Open Circuit Voltage (VOC) 150 VDC absolute maximum coldest conditions 145 VDC start-up and operating maximum
