Sounds like you might have a drain. Leave the positive cable hooked up and disconnect and isolate the negative cable. Hook a test light between the negative post and the negative terminal of the battery and see if it lights. If it does, and is not really dim you have a drain and need to disconnect fuses to determine the circuit involved. I use small Vice-grips to hold it in place. Hope this helps. Gerard

| I have put an ammeter in series of course on the positive and wiggled wires until it jumps to find intermitent shorts once I know which fuse/circuit its on as previous post described. Good luck

| Sorry, I didn't answer your other question. Yes the charging rate you describe is normal for a run down battery. Completely charge the battery and disconnect it if you can't find the drain at this time. Remember not to charge a dead battery if it's frozen. Thaw it first or they can explode.
