Sweet, i looked at that before but didnt realize that could do 520w.

Its also only 13.8v.....Duo3 will not develop its full 360watts of power with 13.8v input source no matter how many watts.

You sure?, I mean the ohm's law thingy says that 13.8v and 40amps is 552watts. I dont know what to do i can get the amp and watt ratings it calls for but not quite the voltage. Maybe i should do a 24v battery setup and just buy a charger for them, 2 12v batteries aren't exactly portable. I'm assuming that i would have to have some pretty high mah 12v's am i correct?

You can have a look at this thread from snellemin:

Look at the bottom of the 1st page -

This has been discussed on more than one forum. You'll only see 160watts per port using a PS with less than 14.5+v, not 180watts per port. There is some component internally in the charger that has to have the higher voltage to enable full power, its not a matter of watts.
