    my dads charger is from the dinasour age and it does have a meter but I don't know if its "normal" or a "trickle" I just kinda of used the termonolgy. Neither would charge the big batt? If not I guess its a trip to Sears...removing the batt from the car to bring it in won't void the waranty?

    If it is a few months old, then go exchange it for new one and skip the charging... they will test your battery before giving you a new one... unless they are super swamped... then they might just give you a new battery.

    Now put that Blackberry down and pay attention to the Professor... or juggies... whichever is closer.

    That charger will charge the big battery if the battery is in good shape. Use normal mode to charge the battery.

    No. it won't void the warranty by bringing it in... bring it in with your reciept... they are a stickler for reciept. They can't expect people to tow their car in to change the battery.
