My daughters little fiat had a flat battery so my wife offered to charge it up for her, my battery charger has both charging and boost facility, dippy b1tch left it turned on boost for 6 hours, will it have done any damage at all?

Women (regardless of wife) should not be allowed to
do car maintenance with the exception of Megan Fox from the Transformers film. Disclaimer I am in no way sexist.

Well if anything the battery would have a serious kick up the backside. I would have thought any boost machine just boosts and then turns off - otherwise it could be very dangerous.

Relax its just a battery.

It might have “boiled” it dry, check the electrolyte level and top up with distilled water. Then apologies to the management for not doing the job for her

ps Cant imagine what your lovely wife would make
of your post....If she looks like Megan Fox, she can boost my batteries all day long.

"Relax it's just a battery" which is exactly what your wife will do to you if she sees your post :).

Might be tempted to leave lights on or something for ten minutes
