with a 2 Amp. charger.
That's an automotive charger and the rate is too high for so small a battery.
A 500mA. charger is pretty cheap, but if you have to use the 2 Amp unit:
Charge it for a half hour or so, or until all cells are gassing.
(Watch the battery and stop charging when all cells are bubbling.)
Stop. Let it rest for an hour or two. Charge again untill it gasses.
Let it rest/equalize again for an hour or two.
Charge again. - Top up any 'low' cells. and install.
