i believe that when you hook a charger to a battery that needs charging the charger will show some amps and as the battery becomes charged that needle will drop down to zero indicating the battery is drawing no amps and is fully charged

Quit fighting that darn battery. Life is too short not to be driving a 928

Big,
Did you test the battery under load? (no pun intended) It could be that your battery under load (like when you activate the starter, etc) falls under the minimum allowed.

I would hate for you to be driving and get stranded somewhere in the boonies when you turn your car off and attempt to restart.
