Question Trickle Charger

I'm confused; i bought a trickle charger a couple weeks ago and the light just stays yellow. Green means it is fully charged and yellow means it is charging...i think.

ok, so here's the deal; i bought a new battery today b/c my old one was a POS and 3 out of 6 of the water cells said it need to be replaced, so i thought that maybe that was why the light was always yellow. Well i put in my new battery and it lit up yellow again. So i thought that maybe the battey wasn't fully charged (even though when i started my car it read like 14v). I just went outside again like 15 mins ago and it is still yellow. The only thing i can think of is that i do have my alarm on so maybe that constant little draw is causing it to keep charging???

If that is the case, then fine. I bought this thing so i could park my car outside for the winter, under a cover with my alarm on and not have the battery die on me. I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this before. if you trickle charge the battery still in the car, will it always be yellow and "charging"? i just want to make sure there isnt anything wrong with the charger.
