2015 Road Glide...new yesterday and won't start
Bought a new bike. Trailered it 750 miles. Security was disabled prior to loading.
Now will not start. Battery was drained. Have had on charger for over an hour and still only clicks and will not start.
How long does a dead battery take to charge?
Could anything else be wrong with it?

Hoping that is the case. Just not sure how long it takes to re-charge it to where it will start instead of clicking.

he means it may not charge back up...ever...pull it out carry it to a parts store and have it tested.

Put on high charge at least one hour , same thing happened to me when I bought my 2015 roadglide did put in transport mode just for wrong bike 2015 there is a different sequence to do it , anyway make sure your charger is putting enough Amps in battery and you will be fine

Put it back on the trailer and take it to the nearest dealership.
There is zero excuse why a brand new bike with 750 trailered miles on it should not start.

It takes just one deep discharge incident to cause permanent damage to a lead acid battery - the odds are high that the battery is damaged, but still worth an attempt to revive it with a high capacity charger.
You'd still be left with investigating why it ran flat.
As @Next In Line says, the dealership is responsible to resolve this problem - at a minimum, I'd insist on a new battery, even if it appears to be revived.

If you try jumping it from a car battery, BE SURE to have the auto turned off or you'll likely fry some parts of the bikes electrical system.
