It depends what Losi..Sam is charging. With 1 charger I am drawing about 13A from my power supply (though that is at 6.1A with a 6S Lipo). It is likely that they will be 7.2V stick packs charged at around 5A, so 5A x 9V = 45W. 45/0.85 (for 85% efficiency) is 52.9W drawn per charger. A fan may need more than you think, it depends what it is, though the Smart Tray should use very little. So it looks as though one of those power supplies would be enough, you're most probably right, it's just I have been doing 1/8 electric for so long now that I'm used to the high demands on the equipment used.
I've been using a Pro-Peak for 3 years, and it was second hand when I got it, and not in fantastic condition then, and I've had no issues. I think the main problem is that you only ever hear about the 'failed ones.'
