I have a mobile ham radio I am wanting to use upstairs in my house.
Would it be acceptable to take my deep cycle marine batteyr up there to
use and hook it up to one of those trickle chargers? Will the batter if
it is in a battery box ruin the carpet?

Buy a plastic dishpan. Put the battery + battery box inside for an extra
layer of protection. Battery acid is nasty stuff.

Be sure to put a fuse in the circuit!
