Lower setting takes longer (trickle charge), but is believed to give deeper charge. Higher setting is fine if you don`t have as much time.

Whenever possible, it's desirable for the charging rate (amperage) to not exceed 10% of battery amperage. This reduces heat buildup and boiling out water. If your bike has a 24 amp battery, use the 2 amp setting. The 6 amp setting would be ok, but for for short periods of time only such as when you must absolutely get the bike going in a hurry. Always set the charger voltage the same as the battery.

The difference is the time involved in the charge cycle. The 2 amp setting will take around 24 hrs. It's know as trickle charging. The 10 amp will take a couple of hours to 4 hours to do a complete charge. Hope that answers your question. Either way will work. RDC

Depends on when you need the battery. But some recommend that you start on 10 to jolt any oxide on the plates then finish at 2 to get a good charge that is easy on your battery, i.e. less heat.

It depends on the charger. On a fully automatic charger, 10A will be fine. If it's a cheap charger, it will cook the battery dry if you leave it on 10A too long.

10 Amps for 5 hours or 2 Amps for an overnight charge.
