It doesn't say what voltage it charges up to (barring the obvious 12v) or if its voltage regulated. I.e its not an automatic charger:

Point being sealed lead acids should not be charged much above 14.6v (at room temp, decrease if hotter, increase if colder) for any duration as they gas-off and lose their electrolyte, eventually ruining the battery.

That charger otherwise should be ok, just don't leave it on permanently, or too long. And monitor state of charge with a voltmeter, shutting it off if the voltage gets too high.


Alternative you can get a automatic "intelligent charger" or constant voltage charger which you can leave to its own devices until its told you its finished charging. I.e like this : 12V Sealed Lead-Acid Battery Charger > Maplin
