Default Charging the battery -- how long is okay?

I have a battery charger for charging the 12-volt boat battery. The
charger has two settings -- 2 amps or 6 amps.

My question is, if I have the charger set at 2 amps, how long is it
okay for me to leave the charger on? My boat is in a garage at a
location that I usually only get to about once a week or so. Is it
okay if the charger is left on at the 2-amp setting for say, a week?


No. Not unless the charger shuts down automatically when the battery is
charged, and then, not unless you have tested that feature.


Will wonders never cease. Harry actually answered a boating question
correctly.
