I have been working a lot with the designing of switched DC/DC converters. and the result you are describing is a Waste. To be honest I have newer seen any switching application that gives as high real world efficiency as stated 98% by the MX60, but then again the MX60 is probably not switching then.
Reading the "MX60_a.pdf" it tells that the Power Conversion Efficiency Typical 98% at 60amps with a 48V battery and a nominal 48V Solar array. (Probably working linear at the time displaying the internal loss in RDSon.) This really tells U nothing of the product. A coversion table would be nice though.

those number i posted were only one shot, where we were trying to figure out why there was a difference in output amps indicated and what was measured.
i did not mean to infer that it was at 83% efficient at that test point,
we only saw it get up to 83% efficient at the highest point as measured with two other meters, which agree'd with the measured amperage.
i am not real thrilled either with the published spec's on this product, it boarders on ... well ,,, you know!
