I checked the manual for that charger and it says it has a lead acid setting. Heres a pdf for the manual in case you don't have one.

I can put multiple batteries on it and they'll charge just as well as if I do them one at a time? What charge setting do I put two SLA 12V batteries on? How many amps/volts should I put on the charger? How long will it take to charge them fully?
