Default Charging question

Dunno how many of you guys do it, but here's my question. I just picked up a new 12v lead calcium bat for my starter box but declined to get the wall charger because I figured I could charge it on my 989 brain. What mah/amp rate should I charge it at? it is a 2 cell 7Ah battery

7ah = 7000mah (im 99% sure)

i always charge my 12v batteries at 1amp

Starter box batts do better with low charge rates. I wouldn't charge at any more than 2amps. I use a 750ma float style charger for mine.
