My tentative working hypothesis, based on the presently insufficient information available, is that the Stanley BC1509 is overcharging the FRC battery (for which it was not designed).

Is there a process to follow with the "standard" chargers that should achieve the same result, but safely?

Some "smart" battery chargers are not smart enough. If you interrupt them in the middle of a charge cycle and then try to continue, they may mis-read the state of the battery and fail to complete the charge cycle. I know my Schumacher SC-1200A sometimes does this.
