battery chargers

I've been doing a lot of work to the 900 lately without driving it (hasn't been driven in several weeks). I start it occasionally, but usually only for a couple minutes at a time. I've been using my 12volt shop-vac a lot to clean the car out, and been working at night. The only light I have is a 12V flouresent. Between those two, and the occasional radio playing, I can kill the battery pretty quickly. The only charger I have is a small, 1amp trickle charger, which means I pretty much have to leave it on 24/7. I was thinking about getting a 12Volt power supply from the local Radio Shack, but the 10amp one I would need to run the vac would be $100. My local auto parts store has a 10/40/200 amp battery charger/starter on sale for $100, which seems like a much better deal than the power supply. Could I run the 12V accesories directly off the battery charger? If not, could I hook the charger to the battery, let it charge, and run the accesories off the 12v port in the car?
