I just bought an ATX computer power supply to convert, to power a charger, and here are the specs:

+5V at 36A
+12V1 at 34A
+3.3V at 36A
-5V at 1A
-12V at 1A
+5VSB at 2A

Question: Can I get 17 volts by combining the +12 & -5 or the +5 & -12 ? Do I just solder them together?

Wattage at 17V should be 629?
