How long can I sit here until my battery dies? LOL

I'm very confident 99% of others will say that won't be an issue. I on the other hand connected a battery charger during the initial process of saving backup copies of all the modules.
It only took a minute to connect the battery charger - better to be safe than sorry.

I'm attempting the backup procedure and got "battery supply voltage too low. Recharge battery and try again" error.
I guess THAT'S how long.
How should I proceed? Can I hook up a trickle charger and continue or should I drive it and for how long?
UPDATE:hooked up a trickle charger and too weak(apparently). Hooked up a larger unit and it worked for 15 minutes and quit again. PITA.
My battery is like FREEKIN DEAD. My 12k mi, garage kept truck has a dead battery? Weird. There's nothing running that I can see/hear. It's a 6 amp charger and it's pushing 4 amps. That's really weak.
I guess I'll have to leave it over night and try tomorrow. ; (

On the PLUS side, I got my ICON 2.5 coils. HOLY CRAP! Those things are MONSTERS! Weight like 30# each.

Be glad that didn't happen when writing to a module.

Funny enough I usually do use a battery charger (Small trickle charger), one time I wasn't paying attention and my daytime running lights were on and while writing a modules a low battery warning popped up, turned off lights, let charge back up a bit, and everything was still fine.

I guess I was under the impression that if one opened/closed the door after unlocking and without entering the vehicle that the mirrors would stay folded. But that would require a sensor that detected ones presence or lack of in the vehicle. Duh!!
They are working as you guys describe. Unfolds only with the driver door being closed.
Thank you.

Has anyone bought this from the Canadian link? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ELM327-USB-Mo...-/272026924589
Someone on another forum claims it doesn't work but I know some here have bought the same (looking) one from the U.S. link and report it works fine. Anyways, if you have bought it from that link, please report if it's working.
