I charged the battery for a 10 minutes and it says fully charged. I pull off the charger and it immediately went to 12.65. after a few minutes it is holding at 12.45. I have cheap "Battery Tender"
I have a 92 Honda Shadow VT1100. When working on it over the summer I killed the battery over and over trying to start it. I eventually would jump start it and when that failed I pulled the battery, plugged it in and it always recharged. I did it several times before I fixed the mechanical problem. Now it starts fine and battery is good.
This one is new and it seems to have died for no reason.

My bike was starting just like you describe yours. I asked everybody on this board and was told it was normal. Then in July, it just didn't start any more. That's after having it on a battery tender over night.
I went to batterystuff.com and bought a scorpion battery that fit my bike for under $100. Bike starts with no problems now.

I most likely will just buy a new battery and be done with it. I just want to be sure before I do.
It's irritating to put a new battery in so soon, but killing a new battery because that wasn't the issue is worse.

Since you are taking it out, charge it and take it to a shop that will test it for free. Most of the big auto parts stores have free testing and shops that specia;ize in batteries only or starters alternators, give one a call and ask.
