Guess I should clarify a bit...

I would not use a trickle charger on a starting battery. From the perspective I was writing from, a 10 - 15 amp charger or alternators putting out 25 amps is extremely fast as compared to a 2 amp trickle charger.

Most on board chargers these days are definitely a good bet. Many have a 3 phase charging system that will put out more amperage when the battery/batteries have been drawn down significantly, and as the battery charges, less amperage is put out as the battery reaches full charge. This is to prevent over charging as nightmare stated.
