I bought a trickle charger because I haven't been driving my subaru. It's been sitting for about a month now, the battery is dead.
It's totally dead, can't even unlock the car door or do anything, no power at all.
My question:
Should I jump my subaru and get the battery back to normal before leaving it on the trickle charger. Or can I just throw the trickle charger on and it will be powered back up and ready to start in a day or two? Does a trickle charger work like that, powering up a dead battery, or just maintaining charge on already charted battery?

What trickle charger are you using? I know some have circuitry that will vary the current going to the battery depending on its state of charge, so you may be able to just hook one up if the battery is dead, and give it a while before it'll even out the current and just keep it topped off. Then some require the battery to have at least a small bit of charge. Look up your model and go from there, but like mentioned before, best practice would be to jump it, alternator charge it a bit, then hook it up to the trickle if you aren't sure.
