Yes that makes sense to me.I guess my problem was that I thought the volts had to be at or above what the battery was rated at....so,something with 30A and min of 12vdc would do....take a look at these specs and tell me if you think this would be ok for the:

No, that only does 330 watts. You need 360, plus you should calculate at 80 of rated requirement. So I would make sure amps X volts = 400 or more. Check out Mastech and Tekpower at radios4you.com.

Also, if you download the manual and read it you'll see the DUO needs 15v do work to its max.
