You answered your own question. As long as the battery doesn't heat up on
a big charge you're probably OK.
** SLA or "gel cells" are prone to gassing when overcharged.
The pressure builds up inside until something gives - then you have bits
of battery and acid all over the place.
Voltage & current limited charging is the only safe and sensible way.

They have vents.
They are damaged long before they can vent.
