Charge current
60 ADocumented claim
Conditions

Printed as "Continuous output current (A)", one figure per column; 60 A is the Orion 48/12-60 column. The datasheet marks this column "Suitable to buffer-charge a battery: yes" and says all models with adjustable output can also be used as a battery charger; the figure is its continuous output current.
