If you only need 12v at high current, why not use a computer power supply? The 12v rail on some of the newer ones can deliver 20-30A. This one delivers 36A@ 12v and is about $100. This one only delivers 25A, but is only $45.

Or, use a small car battery, and then a much cheaper 3-5A PS (a RadioSHack transformer and a full wave rectifier) that can charge that battery between and during uses.

Are you saying that you had 3 battery chargers hooked up to this one power supply at the same time?
Thanks.

You got any pics HotnCold of all those chargers connected to that power supply? Do you need any additional cords or wires for this connection?
Thanks.
