Once the battery is charged, used the lowest setting. As MacCool pointed out, a float charger is what you need. The charger you have may be able to regulate at the low current level required - keep a close eye on electrolyte level for a few weeks and see what happens.

Buy a cheap float charger* designed for car batteries and sleep easy at night.

* Not a recommendation for the vendor or product, just one of the first examples I found when I Googled "float charger".
