Assuming the battery isn't knackered, the internal impedance will stop
most chargers doing anything silly. Excepting a very powerful garage type

Even an old fashioned transformer, rectifier - raw DC of stated 4amp
output is more than capable of wrecking a perfectly good battery, if
left on charge. I know, I have done it.


Of course - if left on after the battery is fully charged. But that wasn't
the question.
