What our Experts Think

• True bi-directional energy management – The AB-MDX13-60 intelligently transfers power both ways, charging 36V/24V lithium trolling systems from 12V alternators and sending power back to maintain the starter battery when the engine is off.
• High-output 720W performance – Delivers up to 12V 60A input power, enabling fast recharge of large lithium banks and significantly reducing downtime between fishing runs.
• Marine-grade IP67 protection – Fully sealed, die-cast aluminum construction ensures reliable operation in wet, saltwater, and high-vibration environments.
• Smart automatic switching – Software-controlled logic automatically manages boost (12V → 36V) and buck (36V → 12V) modes with no manual intervention required.
• Ultra-efficient power transfer – Achieves up to ~95% efficiency, minimizing energy loss and maximizing usable onboard power.
• System simplification advantage – Reduces or eliminates the need for separate house batteries, cutting weight, wiring complexity, and installation cost.
• Advanced safety integration – Built-in protections against over-voltage, over-temperature, and short circuits ensure stable operation in demanding marine conditions
