battery issues
Alright fellas, the old girl won't start. Now here is the interesting part, I put the battery on the charger and I tells me it's charged yet when I connect it back To the bike, it so t even turn the lights on. However, I I connect the battery charger straight to the battery cables everything turns on. I've tested th battery on two different chargers an they both claim it's good. Any ideas?
By it's a 95 1200 custom.

Good advice. Step one is battery voltage. Step two is load testing. A battery can say 12.7V but have absolutely no power to crank a starter.

I couldn't find a sealed battery at Advance that would fit. The sealed type batteries at Advance and several other places only had a 3 month warranty.
NAPA and Oreilly both have sealed batteries that fit with one year warranties for about $95.
The HD battery is only $127 and I think it has a one year warranty.

I had jard starting and my battery was 7 years old so i chucked it on my last long ride to Maryland. No more issues. Sprayed terminal coating (red stuff) on my connections. (I hear you all gasping)
