No, and I'm not sure if it would be a good idea if both chargers are of the "float" type FIRST gives us. I'm no electrical engineer, but I think things could get very strange, very fast, and while batteries won't start exploding, it may actually take longer to charge if the chargers are flipping back-and-forth from float mode as they may read the other charger's current as a full battery.
On another note, make sure you have chargers other than the pieces of junk they gave us last year. Given the 17.2Ah batteries we use, those chargers take about 17.2 hours to fully charge a battery as they are just 1amp (or maybe they were 2amp @ 8.5 hours?). The old, heatsink-equipped chargers were 4amp, meaning a full-charge time of just over 4 hours. These numbers are a bit over-simplified as its not quite a direct relationship, but its close enough to get the idea.
