I had an idea ... if I was to take a pelt rated at 15.2V/24A and hook it to a 15V/20A PSU and run a .2 Ohm resistor in series between the neg terminal and the pelt, I should mod the power going to the pelt to 11V/20A.

r1 = (15V-11V)/20A = .2 ohm

Would something like that allow the pelt to run at approx. 75% an not blow the PSU? Just curious, cos I think I need one in my system.
