Sure. I've done it for ten years. A fundamental requirement is a 
regulated supply set to a voltage that is matched to the battery's 
desired charging or float voltage. You want to keep the battery charged 
while not overcharging it.

I run a contesting station with two K3s driving power amps with a 10A 
supply keeping the battery charged during the winter, and solar panels 
doing it during the summer.
