Before going away on trips, I now like to put the trickle charge on the Deep Cycle battery for around 4 days before we leave. Am I likely to cause any damage to the battery by overcharging it if that is possible to do?
Thanks for your responses.

I leave my 4 1/2 yo battery system, two 80a/h Deep Cycle batteries, wired in parallel permanently on the battery charger while not in the bush without problems.
My charger system utilises a 12 Volt, 10 Amp, Automatic Charger Control

which is wired directly to a 10 Amp manual battery charger, the controller will automatically turn the charge on and off to the battery as required by using a two stage charging algorithm which has setting for both "GEL" and "LEAD ACID" batteries.
