    Okay, so I go out after battery has set for 24hrs and checked it and it said 12.7 volts!! So I may wait till it acts up again. course its gonna be a week or two before im able to get back out so will check after couple more days and then re-evaluate

    10-15A is still a slow charge. Normally anything below about C/4 or C/5 is considered a slow charge, and that can run up over 25A for bigger batteries. Very low current charging relative to capacity when a battery has been deeply discharged can allow the battery to remain sulfated and shorten its life. 2A charging is never fast enough for discharged boat sized batteries other than topping off a cranking battery. Some manufacturers are recommending minimum 40A chargers for their AGM deep-cycles now.
