battery
This is going to be my 3rd time charging the battery.
I charged the battery to full. And I start the car up for 5-10 mins every 2 days and roll it in and out of the garage.
What's up?

A trickle charger will work but why not spend a little more money and get a "smart" charger like the "Battery Tender"? These will top up your battery and keep it there and not overcharge.
By starting the car every couple of days for 5-10 minutes, you are taking more charge out of the battery from cranking it than you are putting back in by running it for those minutes.

I am using a 20 year old motormaster trickler that my uncle gave me. It works, but it takes a long time to charge. I guess I should buy a $100 trickler. Any special recommandations?

Comets, I have a 10A charger if you need to give the battery a quick charge.
Xviper, where can I get one of these smart chargers? I figure it would be perfect to leave on the battery while it sits in the basement.
