Angry 2014 Dyna Low Eats Batteries

Folks I need some help!!!!! I have a 2014 Dyna Low that is on its 5th battery this year. The charging system was checked and found to be in great shape. The ignition recall was taken care of. The battery picks when it wants to die. Some times it is when I am riding home from a long trips. Sometimes its just riding around and most recently just died sitting in the garage. I don't store the bike on concrete and until recently had a battery tender hooked up. I removed it on this battery swap. Now into the battery. When I say it is eating the battery I mean eating it. The battery will not even take a charge. Is any body having the same issue or had the same issue and has figured it out?

You should take it and have a Parasitic Draw test. Something is probably draws a small amount of current while the ignition is off.
