Series 12v Chargers ?
Bestconverter ad says, "The PD9100L Series can be wired in parallel to charge at much higher current rates. They can also be wired in series/parallel to charge 36, 48, 60, 72 and higher voltage bat...

Converters in series act basically like batteries in series, assuming they are capable of being put in series. (If the DC output is not isolated from the chassis ground, for instance, they definitely won't work properly in series.) In both cases, the voltages add but the current is constant through both, as a straightforward application of Kirchhoff's current law would show.
You would in theory max out at 55 amps or so. The power involved would, of course, be the current multiplied by the total voltage, ignoring conversion losses. The 100A converter would not be operating at full power output.
If you don't need to be using the batteries while charging them, you would get faster charging by rewiring the batteries in parallel and operating the two converters in parallel because they could both operate at full power, assuming of course the batteries can accept that much charge current and the wiring is up to snuff and other such details are accounted for.
