HD battery tender
Second tender in five years. First lasted 3. Tender been on bike since November (winter storage) Came back from vacation and tender was flashing orange/green. Instructions say this indicates possible sulphated cells. Now sulphated batteries are caused by idle batteries left to discharge. This battery has been on the tender full time. Disconnected and reconnected and it went through its cycles normally but then went to flashing orange/green again.
Any thoughts or similar stories?

My thought is buy the next one from somewhere other than Harley. I’ve had a battery tender junior for probably 20 years. Never a problem, but maybe I’m lucky. When I used to live where there was winter I didn’t leave it on all the time either, hooked it up every once in a while.

I hear ya but it does have a 5 year warranty so they may just replace it.
also one of it’s intended purposes is to be left plugged in all off season. Maybe just a poor design.
