If its a constant current charger, yes. If its just a charger that can manage about a half amp, no. The charging current will drop as the battery voltage rises and the difference between battery voltage and charger potential output drops. If the charger drops back to trickle mode, that implies that it has a voltage monitor and/or a current sensor to detect what it regards as a full charge. Going to trickle mode means that provided the battery is of a size that the charger was intended for, it can be left indefinitely. It should be remembered that what is a trickle for a 120AH traction battery will be a catastrophic flood for a 7AH battery.
