Product Description

Outback FLEXmax 80 Amp MPPT Charge Controller
 

The FLEXmax 80 is the latest innovation in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers from Outback Power Systems. The FLEXmax 80's innovative MPPT algorithm is both continuous and active, increasing your renewable energy yield up to 30%.

Included in the FLEXmax 80 are all the features first developed by Outback Power in the revolutionary MX60, such as 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 backlit display shows status information at the touch of a button. Enhanced network communications allow the FLEXmax 80 to be remotely programmed via the optional MATE system display and controller.

The new FLEXmax 80 is the only choice when you demand a high performance, efficient and customizable charge controller for your advanced power system.
