The fly in the ointment is that this isn't pure DC. Therefore you cannot be accurate with all these calculations. This is a perfect use for a true rms meter.

There is a lot of ripple that doesn't register on the dc meters but still causes heat.

The error may not be great but don't cut it too closely or reliability will suffer.
