Default charging problems on 99 night train

ok so i replaced the battery in the night train cause it boiled all the water out of the walmart battery, and i just thought that it was the walmart battery, however i replaced it with a harley battery. and the other day when we were on a 200 mile ride, i smelled the acid in the harley battery. like the walmart battery, and today i went to ride to work and it is dead again, any ideas on this problem? not sure if this is related,but half the time my speedo doesnt work, not sure if this is related or not. thanks for any help you guys can give.
