I will soon have a 172, and a 226watt pelt, so I can list the sustained voltage the PS can provide them. though a 156watt pelt would get all the power it could handle.

The 226watt pelts look to be better candidates cause when the PS drops to 14-15V, the pelt gets its 20amps, where as a 172 watt pelt at 15V only pulls around 8amps. There is much more power(and cooling power) going to the 226watter. Even 2 172Watt pelts would only pull around 16amps.

So 15V*20Amps= 300Watts (226Watt Pelt)
15V*16Amps= 240Watts (2 x 172Watt Pelts)
