I see. Thanks.
Edit: Man, I'm confused. This site says otherwise.

Everything I see says this.
1) CONNECTING POWER SUPPLIES IN PARALLEL TO PRODUCE HIGHER CURRENT
Two or more power supplies being capable of CV/CC automatic cross over operation can be connected in parallel to obtain a total output current greater than that available from one power supply. The total output current is the sum of the output currents of the individual power supplies. The output of each power supply can be set separately. The output voltage controls of one power supply should be set to the desired output voltage (CV); the other power supplies should be set for a slightly higher output voltage. The supplies with the higher output voltage setting will provide constant current output, and will drop their output voltage until it equals the output of the CV supply.
Connecting two or more power supplies in parallel (Figure 1) provides higher currents. It is important to follow these precautions:
1. One unit must operate in constant voltage (CV) mode and the other(s) in constant current (CC) mode.
2. The output load must draw enough current to keep the CC unit(s) in CC mode.
