Need some battery help

Hello!
I was just wondering if anyone could help me with a small battery problem I'm having. For my next little project, I'll need a 12 volt battery.

So I was looking into this 12 volt 7AH battery. http://amzn.com/B003S1RQ2S

Now my problem is that I need to find a charger, which there dosen't seem to be much out there for these types of batteries. I found this charger:

http://www.batterymart.com/p-12v-1a-sealed-lead-acid-battery-charger.html

Would that charger charge my battery? Will it explode with acid? Will it not charge at all?

If someone could please help me that would be great, sorry if this question seems silly but this is my first time dealing with these types of batteries.


(Also reccomendations for battery chargers for this type would be greatly appreciated!) :smile:

Thanks!

    That charger is fine for the 12V 7AH battery. Float voltage is right on spec, and the max current is less than 0.3C (2.1A) for your battery.
