These small batteries are better off with a slow 24 hr charge on an under 1 Amp maintenance charger. Be sure to check the tightness of battery clamps. Modern Harleys even with alarm draw little more than 5 milliamps. Mine will easily go a couple of months on a cheap Walmart made in China AGM gell mat battery. Yours draws less than mine..
