Because thats a tremendous amount of power to be putting through a charger and a battery in an ongoing mode. Similar to the power required by the starter, but nearly continuous. Also a 12VDC motor will need to draw 10X the current, requiring much larger wiring compared to 120VAC. Regards, Jim Davis |
