Hi David,
You didn't state which charger you are using and what brand/capacity batteries you have... As a result, it's difficult to give you a hard and fast answer. However, there is a good chance that your 2A "automatic charger" will over charge your batteries if it isn't designed to charge AGM's. I suggest that you look for a charger with a charging profile that is similar to the one shown below (from Odyssey). Having temperature compensation is also beneficial, especially if you intend to keep the charger connected for a long period of time.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
-Mark
