Page 5: Product Description
User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20 Product description Product information The MPPT Solar charger is a fully automatic battery charger that converts the energy, generated by the Solar panel, into a regulated battery voltage. MPPT stands for Maximum Power Point Tracking. Using this technology, the charger continuously searches for the maximum deliverable capacity or the Solar panel. -
Page 6: Introduction To Maximum Power Point Tracking (Mppt) Technology
User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20 This is to prevent the charger from getting damaged by overheating. During the charging of lead batteries, in can of a temperature ▪ increase, the charger will automatically reduce the charging voltage to lengthen the life span of the battery. - Page 7 User manual MPPT Solar charge controller PowerXtreme XS20 Image 1 Typical output curve solar panel As a consequence of the changing ambient temperature and light intensity, the maximum power point will vary significantly. Our MPPT- charger will adjust the parameter settings, based on the conditions so that the system will always function close to the max.
