Battery Types
The FLEXmax Extreme charge controller works best with lead-chemistry batteries intended for deep discharge.
These include batteries for marine, golf-cart, and forklift applications. They also include gel-cell batteries and
absorbed glass-mat (AGM) batteries. OutBack Power recommends the use of batteries designed specifically for
renewable energy applications. Lithium-based batteries and other advanced battery technologies may require
special considerations. Please contact OutBack Technical Support at +1.360.618.4363 before implementing
advanced battery technologies.
