How do I go about charging the battery for our quads. I have one of the upgrade batteries that I bought from Canniboomer. Is a 2 amp trickle charge okay?

In most cases your battery will have the charging requirements printed on the top. Note on this example, the manufacturer states that a standard charge is .4 amps @ 5-10 hours. A quick charge is OK at 2 amps but for only 1 hour:
