It kinda depends on the charger design,,, the battery and its condition and state of charge, if its wayyyyyy down and you dont want to wait a longgggggg time Id put it on 10 amps at least an hour or so (again, it depends on charger design and battery state) and then set her on low charge to top her off, hey 2 amps is only like a trickle maintenance and if the battery is way down that isnt gonna do a whole lot very fast ya know, maybe nothing at all if shes way down!!!!!.
If its in a decent charge state already (NOT run down flat) sure the 2 amp trickle rate is fine for topping off or maintenance BUT IF ITS WAY DOWN IT WOULD TAKE A LONGGGGGGGGG TIME IF IT EVER CHARGED HER UP AT ALL USING ONLY THE 2 AMP TRICKLE SETTING.
If you dont know any of the above, since 10 maps isnt all that much anyway, Id say GENERALLY SPEAKING, if its needs a charge?? Id use the 10 and if she comes up and you still have plenty of time to kill set her back to 2 for a while, although it may not even be needed or matter much if any.......
I DONT SEE THE 10 AMPS AS ENOUGH (unlike my big charger which can go to 50 and over) TO HURT IF IT NEEDS ANY CHARGE AT ALL SO IF YOU ONLY USE THAT (dont even fool with 2) THINGS WILL MOST LIKELY BE FINE.........
Not having the charger specs or battery condition its hard to give a definite answer, my Xantrex Truecharge2 smart 3/4 stage charger takes all the guesswork out of it since it adjusts automatically yayyyyyyyyyy
