Battery Types
The default settings of the FLEXmax 100 charge controller are for lead-chemistry batteries intended for
deep discharge. These include all energy storage offered by OutBack Power as well as 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 charging considerations.
