Lead acid battery charging

[Bob Pastorello]

I'd do the 800 mah charger, about 8 hours or so....that's a less than 20% charge rate, so shouldn't cook anything.  Not sure I'd use the 10 amp cooker...

  Can someone please tell me if I can charge 12V lead/acid batteries with my Hobbico Quick Field Charger MKII? If so, on what setting?
  If not, what is the best way to charge them. I think my 10 Amp car charger might kill them. They are 5 amp hour 12V batteries.
  I also have a 800ma wall charger. Is that a better choice? Will it over charge them if I leave it on too long?
  Thanks in advance
