Using a trickle charger for car battery - can you drive with it while connected?
My car battery slowly gets drained if i dont drive the car within 2 dys or so, if i connect a solar trickle charger can i keep it connected all the time, even when im driving or would i have to connect/disconnect or add a switch so that i can turn it off when the car is not in use
YES AND NO 
What kind of batteries?
Flooded batteries self discharge at 10% for the first day, and 10% every 30 days thereafter. Overcharging results in water loss, simply add water during maintenance cycle, no big deal. A TRICKLE CHARGER IS GOOD HERE.

AGM batteries self discharge at 2% for the first day, and 2% every 30 days thereafter. Overcharging these batteries is really bad, you can't add water. So an unregulated trickle charger is bad in this scenario.
http://www.rv-batteries.com/services.php
HOW DOES IT WORK?
First off, your trickle charger (probably at 13.1v), will be less than the voltage of the alternator (14.4v). The alternator will actually charge the battery, when the car is driving, the trickle charger will hardly be noticed. The solar panel, with a lower voltage will not affect the system much.
Second, the amperage from the trickle charger normally isn't sufficient to blow any fuses. However, if you have a few of the tiny ones in your system, you should watch for this.
RESULT:
No blown up batteries....batteries resist a charge when they are full. However if you charge a battery that is already full, the electrolyte boils off.
CAVEATS:
The solar panel, may have a diode, if not DO ADD ONE. If you don't have a diode (one way door for electricity) between the panel and vehicle electrical system, you can blow it up. The high output from the alternator driving power through the solar panel isn't good.
Bright side, they are only $20.

Battery Chargers- Save a Lot by Recharging Batteries
Battery chargers are particular type of devices that are used to place power into rechargeable batteries by forcing an electric current through it. It is fact that charging current depends upon the technology as well as capacity of the battery being charged. There are different kinds of chargers are available in the market including simple chargers, trickle chargers, timer-based charger, fast chargers, USB-based chargers, pulse chargers, inductive chargers and the list goes on. Simple chargers work by connecting a stable DC power source to the battery being charged. Simple battery chargers do not adjust their outputs based on time or the charge on the battery. On the other hand, trickle battery chargers are also a kind of simple chargers.
Leaving the battery in trickle battery chargers keep the battery topped up but never over charges. There are also some kinds of automatic battery chargers which at the start charge at a very high rate and frequently monitor the cell voltage to reduce or shut off the charging when the battery tends to charge fully. Battery chargers can take one hour to five hours of time for charging depending upon the design as well as rating of these chargers. Different types of visual signals like LED on battery chargers are also available. These pointers point out that the rechargeable batteries should not get over charged and help them prevention from overheating.
There are various types of battery chargers like mobile battery charger, car battery charger, etc. available and are used for various purposes. Although the duty of all the battery chargers is same, they are only used to recharge the battery. Instead of all these chargers solar battery chargers are also available in the market. These types of chargers can take anywhere from eight to ten hours of sunlight to charge totally. They can even charge in overcast conditions but may take fifteen to twenty-four hours under these conditions.
