If you can't find a charging problem, I'd say that you got a deffective battery.

As a note on the life of a battery, a sealed battery should only be charged by your bike and a battery tender. They can not vent fast enough for other chargers. I agree with the volt meter check...I just checked mine several weeks ago and it was 14.3 at idle....
