It is possible to cook your battery by overcharging it so I'd set up a cut
out relay to disconnect the charger when the battery is at full charge.  Set up
properly it will reconect to the charger when the voltage drops below a
predetermined voltage.

Keeping the chage up is a god one, of course. Otherwise you'll fall into
sulfide suffocation.
