Dead Battery -- Trickle Charger didn't work?

We learned the hard way this winter that our '04 Box will drain a battery faster than our 18 year old son will empty a Red Bull: after sitting for 2-3 months, the battery is dead. Really dead. I hooked up a trickle charger through the "fuse block / door latch" connection, but even after several hours there wasn't enough "oomph" to pop the hood. Other than buying and trying a battery tender that works through the cigarette lighter--the CTEK model looks like a good choice--does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

Cheers!
