Default Quick Battery Question

I need to replace the battery on my 11 Road King. When I swap out the battery is having the alarm going to make any difference or is it the same as not having the alarm?

Thanks in advance

If you are talking about the HD (add-on?) siren, then it will sound.
I did disconnect it first, wrapped in towel and stored in ice chest while I was wearing ear muffs. It will stop chirping after about 15 min though...


The onboard security system on my '14 SGS did not care much when I disconnected and re-connected the battery.


I hope that helps.
Thank you.
