The Mastervolt SCM60-MB is a 60A MPPT solar battery charger built for 12V, 24V and 48V battery banks. It accepts a PV input range of 600W to 3600W and automatically detects the connected battery voltage, making it a fit for larger off-grid and marine solar installations that need efficient charging across a wide range of panel setups.

Key features of the solar panel battery charger 12v

• Charge current, 60A maximum
• PV input, accepts 600W to 3600W
• Auto-sense, automatically detects 12V, 24V and 48V battery voltage
• MPPT tracking, extracts power from the connected array across varying conditions
• Panel compatibility, works with 36-cell, 60-cell and 72-cell photovoltaic modules
• Battery types, suitable for sealed, AGM, GEL and flooded lead-acid batteries
• Communication, MasterBus port for integration with Mastervolt system monitoring

Product overview

Mastervolt's MPPT algorithm draws maximum power from the array regardless of temperature, irradiance or partial shading. Auto-sense voltage detection removes the need to manually configure the charger for the battery bank in use. The MasterBus port lets the SCM60 sit alongside other Mastervolt components for centralised monitoring, which suits marine and motorhome setups running several energy sources at once.

Applications

Fitted to off-grid solar systems with 12V, 24V or 48V battery banks, on yachts, motorhomes and other large vehicles, and in remote off-grid power systems generally.

Installation and safety notes

Wiring must comply with IET Wiring Regulations and the Mastervolt installation manual. Battery connections need correct polarity. Do not exceed the rated maximum PV input voltage. Install in a ventilated location, away from moisture and flammable materials.
