I've probably put that HF charger in the trash, and the battery has long since been exchanged in. So, we'll never know. As for me, I'm not going to take that chance again.

I used to have a HF float charger. Left it clipped on to a marine battery. A couple months later, the battery was down on water. Too 1 1/2 quarts to fill it up. The battery did not survive. If you use such a junky charger, please put it on a 24 hour lamp timer, and run it an hour a day.

The harbor freight charger is incapable of producing enough current to boil off a battery. That charger would burn up producing enough current to boil off a battery.

You had some other problem, probably a shorted cell.

2 amps can boil a battery if the voltage required to push 2 amps is
high enough
