Default 12 Volt Battery to Power LEDs-Need Charging Info

I decided to power my LEDs from a 12 volt battery instead of going the 36 volt to 12 volt converter route. I plan to use the ExpertPower battery in the link below.
I have been unable to find any manufacturer data on charging. Can someone give me an idea of the type of charge I should use? I had planned to use my Schumacher automatic shutoff 12 volt 2 amp charger, but also have some other chargers and amperage options if needed.

Many thanks

20 amps is 1C which is always a safe bet to not exceed.

Battery Type - 12 Volt 20 Amp 20 Hour Sealed Lead Acid Battery

AGM Tech - Utilizes Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Technology

Low and slow is best. A low amp charger (one to 12 amps) is generally the best choice for charging any lead-acid battery.
Under normal conditions most 12-volt automatic battery chargers will work on an AGM battery. Many newer battery chargers have settings specifically for AGM batteries

If you don't have a charger, here's a cheap, though slow, one.

I use this on mine, and bought a "cigarette lighter" plug, and charge that way.

I got the same battery for my lights when converting to 36v Lithium. This is the charger I got for it. It is very compact, does different voltages and chemistries including AGM.

Here is the NOCO website if you want more info. https://no.co/products/charging/multipurpose

I have the same NOCO genius charger. Been using it over a year now and works great.
