You have two of them Ripmax things? You could run 2 off 1 of the power supplies I mentioned, and yes it gives you 13.8v (needed for 8 cell batteries) at 20 amps. So if you charged each battery at 5 amps, give or take the efficency of the charger, thats probably around 13 amp draw, so well within its capability.

You will be doing yourself a favor by buying a better charger though, unless you really don't care about the health of your batteries. I used mine on one of them yellow beeping things for several months, now my 3500's take in less than 2100mah, and peak at over 11v! (A 6 cell pack). They are useless for NIMH's.

Edit, just a thought, that one looks new, maybe you could take them back and ask for a refund, and put a bit more dosh in and get some more capable and NIMH friendly chargers..
