Yes it is as long as the PS is properly sized. Figure the max wattage (volts x amps) you'll be using the 2 or 3 chargers for. Then add the wattage for each and add 10-20% additional wattage to the total for the inefficiency in the chargers. Get a PS with at least that much output and you're ready to run multiple chargers using that one PS.
I run 3 chargers using a server power supply thats 480+watts.

Here's a link to power supplies that I've used for years. I have the 55 amp model (about 800 watts) and it's able to run six or more battery chargers, and even a tire truing machine. It's a pretty strong unit and it's served me well. When you go with the 45 amp or higher models, they also come with large heatsinks.

That means I am charging 4 6500 2s packs at one time.
