Ok, D8, I'll say it again. Dont run your car while charging. It's just NOT needed. The draw from your charger is low enough that it will not drain your battery to a point that you will cause any damage to it. If you feel you must do something, buy a set of jumper cables just in case you do draw it down enough so that it doesn't start. If your drive home is 1/2 hour or so, your car will charge the battery enough so it will start again in the morning. IF then you have more issues with your battery, buy a new battery for it. I've charged lipos for three days straight without starting my truck, and it fired up fine.
