Trickle Charge
Hi!
Here in Canada we got a 'free' inspection of our aging MLs by the stealership and I was told that my battery was getting weak after 7 years of ownership, everything else checked out fine even though they refused to tell me why my truck was vibrating at idle. I have been relatively happy all through these 7 years and am more than willing to spring for a new battery, but while i was shopping at the local hardware store (Canadian Tire), I chanced upon a solar powered battery charger. It looks kinda small but it might work and plus it was on sale at $9.99 from $39.99.
My question is - which socket should I plug it into? the one near the ashtray or the one at the passenger side? I know one stays on all the time whereas the other is on only when the car is on.
Any suggestions, ideas from the technical gurus here?
Thanks!

Thanks for the input, guys! I will go ahead and trickle charge the battery but of course I will make sure that I dont do it for too long.
Apologise if this is a silly question - I have no electrical experience nor knowledge!
How long should i charge it for if the solar trickle charger is 1.8W 125ma Max?
Thanks!
