Thats a 50watt charger and all you really need is a supply with mor ethan about 60watts. Something like this would work -

Check and see if the connection to the charger looks like what you need. If you have a spare laptop power supply lying around and could get it connected, that'd prob work as well.

If you need a lot of current for multiple chargers, your best (cheapest) bet is to make your own from a PC power supply. Look for something with a single +12V rail with lots of current handling capability like this. Then follow this guide. That'll give you a 25A (300W) 12V power supply for about $20.

Sorry, didn't read far enough, my bad. This is 350watts and will run multiple chargers as long as charging doesn't use more than it supplies.

There are PSs available to well over 1000watts. PS selection really depends on what you're charging and how many chargers you'll be running off the same supply. You can determine the needs of each charger then allow for the chargers inefficiency and get the needed wattage in a PS.
