Depends on your battery charger and what it's output is...unless you are on a real low trickle charge, 2 days would be way to long, IMO.

only 6 amps from my charger battery started taking 9 amps now down to about 3 amps.

Should be getting close, make sure caps are off and check the level...don't want to boil it all off.
