You should disconnect the battery before charging anyway,
But yes you can so long as its 12v and 12v

Yes... provided it's a 5 or 6 amp charger (maximum)
And I would disconnect the -ve terminal.

What kind of battery is fitted ? If a standard wet cell then any car charger will do the job. If its Gel cell then its better to use a charger that switches from wet to gel
