Is there any decent way to top off the charge using your car? Or maybe some other el cheapo solution? I won't be able to get back to my charger for a week and a half. I've got a 12 V 5.3 ah SLA battery.

No guarantees, but connecting it to your battery (or through the lighter socket) while the engine is running should charge it. It's basically the same type and voltage as the car's battery, only smaller.

This is how many charge them. No problems so far!
