It depends on how much power do you need on every charger.
Charging a 3s2200maH LIPO at 1C, requires around 3Amp on a 12V power supply, 6s5000MaH requires about 6.5Amp.
A 12V 18Amps power supply should be good enough for your application.

same math applies. Figure the total power in watts.
If you'll charge the batts at 2 amps then 12.5 voltsx2 amps x 2 = 50 watts. The ps needs to be at least 50 watts.
