Clip from the listing:

Devices/setups are recommended to have no greater than a 10 amp amperage swing/cycle (Example 5 amps to a quick/sudden 15 amp load)
The PT Duo is a fairly powerful charger, at that power level and up they like/sometimes need a little higher supply voltage, a 15V, even a 13.8V unit would be preferable. It's rated for 11 to 18V.

dont chargers come with a wall plug to plug it into the wall? if so why do you need a power supply?

Do you know how to rewire the ATX power supply to use with a charger?

I have one of the 47Amp from this site and I can use 2 Fma Powerlab charging at 20Amp each http://feathermerchantrc.com/

Here is a nice article on how to convert the HP 47 amp server power supply yourself:

These used power supplies go for ~$25 shipped on ebay.
