2 days should give you a full charge.
However if you left it not connected to shore power for a week, then the battery might be 100% discharged, and it might take a week to recover.
Also check the water level (I am sure that you would have noticed while checking the battery state of charge though). It can go down after a week on the charger when it started at nearly dead. Normally you should be checking water level about every 2 months. You will get an idea of how often they will need more water, and not need to do it nearly as much in cooler weather. `
Good luck,
Fred.
