Best I can tell, that Powerlab 6 charger is a DC-DC converter, designed for hobbyists, for charging small batteries from a 12v battery.

The specs on the Powerlab 6 state a DC input so it appears you are correct.
I'm gone back to considering the Megawatt S-400-12. It may do what I need and at that price ($60) there isn't much to lose if it doesn't.
