The low or dicharged battery will draw all the charger will allow because the internal resistance is almost zero. Overvoltage will ruin a battery quickly, too many volts = overcurrent = heat = warped plates = internal short = more current, Etc. Etc. (Maybe a big bang) I suppose I should have said cheap OR defective.
