So, my battery died in my 15 street glide. I removed and charged the battery. When i put it back together everything started up fine. But, my alarm is chriping. 3 beeps every 3 seconds. Runs fine, starts fine with fob. The chirps will not stop! Any suggestions? Also have tried to disarm with the pin. Still chirps.

About how long would it need to charge the alarm battery. I ran the bike for thirty minutes earlier. Also my system has the buttonless fob. Us there a different manual for the newer bikes? I don't have the alarm system manual like the one shown.

Look for it with google and part number. Where I came up with that. Note it does have a reference for newer but your stuff is really new. I have no service manuals on 2016. How long does your cell phone take when it's totally dead?
I'm just shaking the tree and learning something here. A expert will jump in here shortly. All my service manuals have page after page. Looking in my 2014 tour manual now.
Put your maintenance charger on it in the bike. Do not charge that AMG bike battery with a big charger. When you charge in bike, it gets the siren since speedometer, alarm and ECH are always on a little power even with key off.
You have a meter? What is your voltage on the battery after turning ignition on with lights and turning off? If it's under 12.5, battery on alarm will not charge. When you key on and disarm, you get 2 chirps. You get 3, so it just may be battery. However, I have not found chirp. In my elec diagnostic manual now.

I'm going to leave the battery keeper on it for a while and see if that helps. I don't have a meter but when i put the maintainer in it and turned the key to ign the % dropped from 100 to 50 immediately. So i think your on to something with the battery being below 12.5 v and not charging the siren. I will get back if it works or not. I appreciate the input!
