Technically, for the longest lifespan of a battery, it shouldn't be charged at over 10% of the battery amperage. 14 amp, 1.4 amps, etc. However, most bike batteries are charges at more than that without problem. Your charger will start at 4 amps but as the battery charges up, it will reduce the amperage down to probably around 1 amp.
If you have a small battery and it becomes quite warm to the touch when charging, disconnect the charger and let it cool down before resuming. It's normal for the battery to become warm but you don't want it so hot that it boils out water.

4 amps is a trickle charge .. it may take some time but it will prolong the life of your battery... if you go with higher amps it will deplete the plates in the battery.. and shorten the lifespan of the battery

yep 4a slow but sure will not over heat your battery or warp the plates

Yers, it will charge your battery at 4amps every hour. Slow, but sure.
