charging a leisure,battery with normal car battery charger will damage the battery, you need a trickle charger streetwise do a good one ideal for winter storage it will not over charge,

Sounds like you have a very basic charger with no current control (and probably precious little voltage regulation). Lidl were doing a nice little microprocessor controlled charger recently, which covered up to 12V 100Ah or so and offers a desulphation cycle as well. About £14.
