The only electrical knowledge I can offer up is on A/C circuits. UL & trade standards say that any circuit should only be loaded to 80% of the rated amp load at the breaker. That's a safety margin so when people make a birds nest at any duplex device ( outlet in non-electrician speak ) they don't pop the breaker and overheat the wire gauge ( as that isn't a good thing ). I do not know if this applies to DC circuits. I would figure that there has to be some load safety margin even in a DC circuit.

I agree that it may not be a good idea to push the limit. Perhaps an inline fuse could be a safety net?
Granted, 90 plus days occur perhaps 15 days out of a year but this mod seems to simple - $200 experiment. We shall see.
