I wonder if you can run two in parallel?
Usually, no. Whichever one happens to have the slightly higher output voltage will try to supply *all* the power, and the other one just loafs. The overloaded one may shut down, or overheat, or otherwise do something undesirable.
But in a pinch, you can add a small resistance in series with each output; enough to drop the output maybe 5% at full load. The voltage drop forces them to share the load better.
