Yep, bought 2 of them about five years ago for $19.99 each. They have never failed. As matter of fact, they have both been plugged in constantly for about 2 months. As long as the green light is on everything is fine......except I have not ridden my bike since early November.

Harley didn't change the Battery Tender. The manufacturer did.
Please explain your "not having good results with the new one".

I don't think you are supposed to be able to see the inside. That may be your problem. Mine's been working just as well as my older one. I would take it back cause you got screwed by the dealer. Or maybe if you can tell us what yours isn't doing someone might be able to help.
