I understand Live-side goes to the copper plate attached to the battery live terminal and Negative-side goes to the engine-mounting bolt near the coolant tank. Is this correct?

Yes that's correct . charger earth to the engine or dedicated earth charging post and positive to battery positive terminal , all with battery connected to car . The battery takes what it needs from the charger , the 10A will help in the early stages .. it will gradually reduce down to Milliamps at the end of the process. what I'm saying is don't get a small low output charger but preferably an old fashioned non computer controlled one . it needs to keep applying a current to the battery for a long time ...
