Page 8: Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Xantrex SOLAR MPPT Charge Controller 60A|150V. The Xantrex SOLAR MPPT Charge Controller 60A|150V is a high quality, 48-volt solar charge controller. It is designed to take solar energy and charge many voltage types of batteries such as 12|24|36|48 volts using a smart charging algorithm integrated with maximum power point tracking.
Page 9: Features
Features The charge controller is equipped with the following features: 1. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology Capable of ultra fast tracking speed including multiple power point peaks with a 99.5% efficiency rating. The MPPT control algorithm maximizes effective rate and time energy harvesting. Has a wide maximum power point operating voltage range.

Page 12: Maximum Power Point Tracking (Mppt)
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) MPPT enables the charge controller to harvest the maximum energy available from the PV array and deliver it to the batteries. The MPPT algorithm continuously adjusts the array operating voltage so that the array continuously operates at its maximum power point.
Page 13: Charge Controlling
Charge Controlling The charge controller can regulate PV array current for charging batteries at 12|24|36|48 volts. Figure 2 PV Charge Controller – – – – The charge controller controls how the batteries are charged by the DC source (the PV array). When charging, the charge controller regulates the charging voltage and current based on the amount of DC power available from the PV array and the current state of charge of the battery.
Page 14: Three-Stage Battery Charging
Three-Stage Battery Charging The three-stage charging process results in more efficient charging compared to on-off relay type or constant voltage solid-state regulators. The final float stage reduces battery gassing, minimizes electrolyte loss, and ensures complete battery recharging. Battery voltage and current vary during the three-stage charging process as shown in Figure 3 .
Page 15: Equalization Charging
Equalization Charging The charge controller can be used to provide the battery bank with an equalize charge. Equalization is a deliberate overcharge designed to return each cell in the battery to optimum condition by reducing sulfation and stratification in the battery. The equalization charge is generally performed only on flooded, vented (non-sealed or “wet”) lead-acid batteries, as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
