Will a 10 Amp power supply be able to handle 2 chargers

[NSDie]

The title says it all. If I do the math, say, if I charge my batteries at 4 amp for each charger, does it mean that it will draw 8 amps off the power supply and therefore a 10 amp power supply should do the job find.

I would appreciate any input or real life experience from this fine community here.

should easily do it, but 8amps is 80% of the power so may start to run hotter?

I use a 20amp and pull 10amps no problem (2x5amps)

Before I invest some money into a new bigger power supply, I know very keen to know if anyone here actually runs a 10 amp or thereabouts for 2 chargers no problem.......

Obviously, I own a 10 amp power supply now. Just don't see a need to go bigger if it's absolutely not necessary.

er if you have the power supply

1/ why not try it to see if it works
2/ buy another 10 amp psu

what make of psu is it? if its one of the cheap small ones id say no

My little 10amp psu can't power two chargers at 4 amps each, it can just about cope with 3.5 and 4. On of the chargers does have 3 quite vicious fans though, which doesn't help.
