No. It only does 2AMP. You want a charger capable of at least 6-8, preferably 10 amps

 

This is the one I use and it too goes on sale frequently. It does 2 & 10 amp and will cycle between 2 amp and 10 amp when the battery is almost full. It will also shut off on its own when the battery is full -- hence automatic charge.

Le Barons sells a fabulous case for your battery .. it is weather proof and it has a cigarette lighter for charging your other stuff ... it is vented and has a strong carrying handle/strap ... worth the few extra bucks to protect your investment IMHO
