Well, I think I solved most, if not all of the problem.  I decided to make
sure there wasn't a current drain with the car off, and I discovered something
is drawing nearly 3 amps!  I haven't tracked it down yet, but it certainly
explains why it was nearly impossible to charge the battery (when connected in
the car) and why it wouldn't hold a charge overnight.  Once I disconnected it,
it charged up OK, and seems to be holding.
