Are you charging it on the car? Have you disconnected any leads? You should leave it charging overnight to give it a full charge. Previously..

I think unless it's a battery conditioner type charger you can damaged the car by not disconnecting the battery.

Oliver, have you checked the voltage while the engine was running ?? It is probably in the 14+ volt range i.e. the alternator is charging the battery, masking the imminent death of the battery.
