I have 4 12 v 200 AH batteries connected to give a 24 v system. I need help sizing the required breaker to be connected on the line from the charge controller
Actually 63 amp is a standard breaker size over in China. A number of my projects list them as the Main breaker in a lighting panel with 16 Amp branch breakers.
But if you are in the USA as Sunking states the 63a does not exist and you must to with that 70a one.

I'm in Ghana, West Africa and we have 63A breakers on the market here. I think they are also used in the rest of Europe
Maybe that is the difference. Those are "din rail" mounted where wires are connected to both sides and the other "standard" US breakers have only one wire connection where the Line side is "bus" connected.
I use to use a lot of Allen Bradley din rail mounted CBs in my PLC systems. Although they never got bigger than 10 amps so I never compared them to lighting or distribution panel branch breakers
As an engineer I do not see the point is such incremental sizes. If calculations say 63, 60 or 65 works just as good. Electrical Engineering is like this:
We measure our wood to cut with a Micrometer.
We mark the wood measurement with pavement chalk.
We cut the wood with a Lumberjack's axe.
Makes me think some manufactures cannot see the forest for the trees.
