From basic power equations, the MPPT's output current should be a 1/x function of its required output voltage. Physically, the boost converter on the MPPT will try its hardest to fill the output capacitor until the pack draws the same amount of current that the boost converter is able to provide (itself being limited by the input side PV cells), at which point equilibrium is reached. We assume the MPPT is never capable of supplying enough current to cause overcurrent.
