I thought you could adjust the output voltage from 12vdc to 15vdc. Is this not true?

@LouM you are correct. I don't know why we have it listed as having a fixed output of 12.2 volts on the product page when the voltage can be adjusted and there is a smart charger portion of it. So it will work for you. I should have looked further into the specs!
