Extended Play Mode
If the MPP voltage is low enough to approach the battery voltage (usually when the PV array is
very hot), it is near the effective limit of the MPPT function. Side effects may cause the
FLEXmax components to make a squealing noise. Extended Play mode alleviates this problem
by extending the parameters of the MPPT sweep.
To activate or deactivate the Extended Play feature:
