Chargers in series, no. Each charger needs 15v input.
I don't think you can hook them up in series and feed
them 30v. Also, the ac/dc adapters for those chargers
are rated around 3amps. Using one adapter for both
rated 1 amp would mean 500mA current when the charger
needs 6 times as much. This is not going to work. One
charger alone is set up for 15v 3a = 45 watts. So two
chargers is 90 watts, and you have 30v 1a = 30 watts.
And hooking the chargers up in series, I don't think
you can do that, the voltage will not split into two
15v amounts, I think you will fry those chargers.
