Is it safe/wise/smart to install a trickle charger on car with a parasitic draw?

My 2010 Cayenne has a fast slow draw. I am almost certain it's the driver door actuator. Still have to pull fuses with an ammeter attached but everything points to the actuator. Inexpensive part but pretty involved to replace and don't see having time to do it for weeks.

Just put a new battery in the truck yesterday after hard starting morphed from annoyance to real problem. Truck started amazingly. Found that the battery in it is 1 year old. Tried to start the truck today and again took several key turns to start. Charger on remote terminals for 2 hours with an ancient Schumacher, started perfectly.

So can I put a 3A trickle on it for overnight?

Any trickle chargers that you swear by? Schumacher has a few nice ones.
