Battery charger question

[Stoneale]

Just wondering if this charger is ok to use with the battery below? :confused:

I would Not use that, it could over charge you battery and cause it to explode, I would invest in a Trickle charger for small 12V batteries.

Got a cheap one at Harbor Freight. It was on sale for about 10 bucks, normally 19 bucks I think. Works fine.

If you charge it at a high amp rate you run the risk of warping the plates. These small gel batteries have thin lead plates.

Even though that charger has a 2 amp setting, and even though it says it is an Automatic Charger I would be cautious using it.

Technically it should charge @ 2 Amps until it senses the battery is fully charged, then drop to Zero Amps.
-If you do use it keep the interval short. 2 hours max for safety sake, if the battery feels Hot, or starts to Swell disconnect the charger.

The Schumacher 6 Volt / 12 Volt 1.5 Amp/ Trickle Charger is hard to beat.
Check Walmart its about $20
