Recommend avoiding this supply for the PT Duo. Seen a couple guys have problems with this model, it doesn't like large current surges, such as starting a charge.

Clip from the listing:
Devices/setups are recommended to have no greater than a 10 amp amperage swing/cycle (Example 5 amps to a quick/sudden 15 amp load)
The PT Duo is a fairly powerful charger, at that power level and up they like/sometimes need a little higher supply voltage, a 15V, even a 13.8V unit would be preferable. It's rated for 11 to 18V.
