Trickle charger or float charger--are they the same? I understood a
trickle charger to supply a low amperage charge continuously while a
float charger will stop charging once the battery is fully charged and
then turn itself on again when the voltage drops below a certain
amount. I've got my airplane battery hooked up to a float charger
between flights. I understand a trickle charger will overcharge a
battery if left on continuously.

You can give any battery 1-2 amps constantly and it will never hurt it.
