van only starts with battery charger

What is your question?

I have a new battery and its good...got it yesterday, but when I turn the key nothing happens unless I hook up my battery charger. What could be the problem? This happens every time I go anywhere.

Could be the battery is not the correct cranking amps.

I guess that could be right, but I bought it yesterday and it was supposed to be the correct battery for my make and model according to Batteries Plus...How can I find out for sure?

Take them plastic terminal covers off the battery, clean the terminals AND the cables!!!... Battery charger can make connection from the outer part of cable ends..., you dig?
