In addition...

The lead acid batteries used in aeroplanes are not as robustly constructed as those used in motor cars, so the charging circuit in airplanes account for this by tightly regulating the charge current.
Too much is....not good.

As pointed out, these batteries do not like being deeply discharged, and if this is allowed to happen, the battery life can (and will) be severely compromised.
