Power and Control in a Single Device
The T80 TurboCharger^TM integrates Maximum Power Point Tracking, battery charge management, state of charge information and communications into a single device. With 80 Amps continuous output, the has the largest capacity in the industry by over 30%.

Optimum MPPT and Charging Efficiency
The T80 captures up to 35% more power from the photovoltaic (PV) array. Our Patent Pending MPPT algorithm starts early and locks onto the peak power during rapidly changing insolation and temperature.

Energy Monitor Built In
The T80 includes a built-in Energy Monitor using TriMetricTM Technology from Bogart Engineering. It tracks power production and consumption to calculate the energy remaining in the battery. State of Charge (SOC) is displayed in Percent Full, Amp-hours, Watt-hours and bar graph format. In addition, 90 days of energy harvest history is stored in the T80.

Continuous Rating to 45^o C (113^o F) Ambient.
The T80 TurboChargerTM produces full rated power without de-rating up to 40oC ambient temperature. Above that, the output current is reduced gradually to protect the life of the T80 and then automatically ramped up as the temperature decreases. High efficiency power circuits and robust thermal design minimize heat generation. The internal temperature-controlled variable speed fan runs just fast enough to maintain optimum reliability.

Enhance Battery Performance and Life
Supports Flooded Lead Acid (FLA), GEL and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Four stage charging with adjustable set points for all parameters.

Unequalled Communications
The on-board RS-232 and slot for optional add-in cards provide data communication to Remote Readouts, PCs and the Internet. System performance can be monitored remotely and the T80 accepts software upgrades from a PC.

Reduce System Costs
Our efficient MPPT technology dramatically reduces the cost of a PV system by reducing the number of PV panels required, eliminating the need for heavy gauge wiring, and increasing the life of the storage batteries.
