The question is why was the battery dead? When was the last time the car was run? Was something left on that would drain the battery (harder to do in newer cars).

It's a 10 amp charger. Last time I drove was to Hampton and back on Friday with no problems. The interior lights shut off automatically if they're left on.
Used car was purchased two years ago with 68,000 miles, now has 85,000. The battery was not new when I bought the car, so it could be 3 or more years old.
