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.
