The next step now is figuring out how to charge them. I have my doubts that my power supplies are isolated as Teoman mentioned. So I may have to come up with something else.

Check them for sure, but typically off-line supplies (AC to DC) are required by law to have isolated outputs, so you should be able to charge individual cells in the stack.
