Rechargin my battery - need some quick advice
Hey guys - looks like it might be in the high 50's low 60's in the NE this weekend... THAT MEANS MY FIRST RIDE!!! I'm getting my baby prepped right now, but I need some quick help from the smarter folks among us. I've got this nice Sears battery charger (about 10 years old) - it has 10 amp and 2 amp service, with manual/automatic deep cycle/automatic regular settings. What should I use for my scoot? I have it on the bike now on 2amp automatic regular (I figure low amps can't really hurt anything), but should I switch her up to 10amps? I lost the damn instructions, and sears never puts any manuals online  . Suggestions?

2amp, is perfect, should be charged fully in 6hours probably less due to the state of charge? and leave it on automatic!!

Thanks Mike!! I just went out and started her up - took a second to turn over... but SHES BACK!!! I shut her down after about 5 minuets of "fast idle" (the fast idle "choke" on)... just enough time to warm up. I'm going to continue the charge tonight though, just to top the battery off. I CAN"T WAIT TO RIDE.
