I used two 12 volt batterys & a battery charger to run a bigger amp. than that. Just use the right size wire.It worked good.

I run a deep cycle marine battery and a trickle charger to power my DX 1600 Texas Star. This setup does a good job for me. However, I mostly run SSB.

If you plan to run a lot of AM, I'd invest in a larger charger.
