DaveUK is dead-on, ideally the charger size should be calculated based on the amp/hour rating of the battery.

That being said, so long as you get a charger that has dv/dt controls (difference in voltage/difference in time) with an output of 110+Amps, you should be fine.

If the charger is too small, it will never ever fully charge the battery, which will lead to sulfation.

The dv/dt timer is important to make sure the battery recieves only the charge it needs.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
