Brian,

Talking with my buddy here, he's wondering if the charger is drawing way more current than the required for charging? DC's lossy but I can't imagine it's that lossy, no?

Based on what I've seen, makes me wonder if the jumpered 12v could be the issue here? Seems during testing, they were pulling 15A on a single line 100% duty cycle and the 12v line stabilty was still within the 5% spec (actually 3%). Based on my numbers, I'm no where near that. That "would" equate to roughly 11.64v based on 15A load with 12v feed....
