Can you charge batteries in series with 2 separate chargers in parallel?

Not in parallel NO - unless each charger is twice the voltage required for a single battery.
For example if you had 2 x 12V batteries and placed the in series, you would have a 24V battery. If you had two 12v chargers and put then in PARALLEL with each other, you would then have a 12v charger with double the current handling.
Of course if the chargers were 24v ones, then it would work fine.
if you have 2 x 12v batteries (for example) and wished to charge them with separate chargers (actually quite a good idea), then each charger would be over each battery. So the batteries would be in series, the chargers would also effectively be in series too.
Basically another way of looking at it would be two have a 12v battery with a 12v charger to your left and then on the right another 12v battery with a 12v charger on it. Yes you can connect the two together in series.
The only slight caveat is that the chargers must be isolated from each other - and not for example a "dual output charger" which simply has an extra pair of leads but a shared charging system.
