Probably,
1 amp is pretty large for a 17ah. It should work. Do two things before trying. First, get a voltmeter and measure the output of the charger. It should be between 13.6 and 14 volts. Second, Is your charger current controlled? If it is, your in luck, but if not, I would not leave the battery unattended during charging. Sometimes they can force the charger much more than just an amp out.
