I've built a Battery Full alert that works, but I want to set it to
repeat until I take action. What task can I add to the profile to
make it repeat every two minutes?

Pent replied to something in December similar:

You might be able to change this to look for a confirmation key press instead of an app.  Just a thought.

You could do something like this:

Profile: Battery Full
Context: Battery Full
Context: Power AC
Task:
Profile Status Battery Full Alert, On

Profile: Battery Full Alert
Context: Power AC
Enter Task:
Notify Sound <your message>
Wait 2 minutes
Goto 1 If %PACTIVE ~ *,Battery Full Alert,*
Exit Task:
Profile Status Battery Full Alert, Off

I have a context set to fire every 2 minutes. Normally, it's
disabled. If I miss a call, I enable the context. If I unlock my
phone, it's disabled. It works very well.

=-=-= Actual reminder context and task =-=-=
Profile: Reminder (34)
Time: Every 2m
Enter: Reminder (55)

Task: Reminder (55)
A1: Vibrate Pattern [ Pattern:0,100,100,100,100,100,100,100 ]

=-=-= Enable event =-=-=
Profile: Anon (7)
Event: Missed Call [ Caller:* ]
Enter: Anon (59)

Task: Anon (59)
A1: Profile Status [ Name:Reminder Set:On ]


=-=-= Disable event =-=-=
Profile: Unlock (39)
Event: Display Unlocked
Enter: Phone:Unlocked (50)

Task: Phone:Unlocked (50)
A1: Profile Status [ Name:Reminder Set:Off ]

This is a old thread but I wanted to add another possible answer, just in the case someone ever needed it. This solution might be more simple than others.

There is an action (or task) called "play music". One could create a profile and add a notification (or sound file) and there is a option to let this sound file repeat itself. The only problem is that there is no pause between the repeats. What I did was to modify the sound file and add a pause into it (5 min in my case). There are probably better way to do this, but it works for me.
Now the file will play but will only stop if you take some action to stop it.  Therefore I created another profile with an event to "unlock display" (or alike, dunno what the english term is). The action (task) is "stopp music". So when I unlock the phone, the sound stopps.
Of course you have to add the battery full status (or whatever you have) to the first profile.
