Hi.
I have a Lowrance Elite 5x HDI Fishfinder. I bought a 12v  7.5AH Bass Pro Shops  XPS Power Series Rechargeable Sealed Lead-Acid Marine Battery.
I use a Husky Smart Battery charger with three settings , 2/10/20 amp to charge it. I usually use the 2amp setting  (which takes a bit ) to charge it.
After it says it's full, could I leave it on for an extended period to trickle charge?

Can I charge it on the higher settings of 10 or 20 amp without damaging the battery ?

If I do use the higher settings do I need to remove it right away when it says full ?
       
Right now I use the 2 amp setting but the battery seems to die out after about 6 to 8 hours of continuous use.

If I charge it at higher setting, will that give me a better more long lasting charge?

Right now I am using the 2 amp setting
