One more thing: How long does the battery take to be fully charged?
Can I unplug it and put it back after work tomorrow? I somehow don't want it to charge over night in my appartment xD

ALARM!!!!!!!
You did not mention this!
Alarms are famous for killing batteries. I would NOT worry about your Optimate
charger cable ... but I WOULD worry about an Alarm. Some constantly draw current off your battery and can kill battery over time.
For this reason ... you need a trickle charger like Optimate or Battery Tender or other brand trickle Smart Charger.
QUESTION:
What sort of charger is your battery plugged into NOW? Do not use a charger for a Car ... make sure you are not charging OVER 2 amps ... and only use 2 amp charge for about 2 or 3 hours MAX if battery is dead to start with. Many Car chargers put out TOO MUCH current for small Motorcycle battery.
Most Smart Chargers typically use a .5 amps or less.
Good luck!
