jump dead battery 2017 road glide
Left the ignition on, battery dead. Seems like a pain to get to the battery. How long would it take to recharge with the trickle charger (750 ma) connector? Is there an easy way to simply connect a battery jumper pack?
Thanks,
Sam

You can jump it . But with any dead battery you should allow what ever source you are using to jump it charge for a while.
You can hook a jump to that battery charge connector or a larger charger.

Taking the short cut can do $600 dollars damage to your bike. Only jump in an emergency. Running on a dead battery and letting charge system try to build it back is not worth the risk.
Forget about that stupid on/off switch on the bar except practice it once a week with your hand on the key switch.

Also, do with a for reals battery charger, not a jumper pack, not a battery tender.
You want to charge the battery before starting it, unless you like taking chances in smoking your stator or voltage regulator.

I had to jump mine in a restaurant parking lot, jumped it of the battery, rode it home, put on tender and never a problem since, just had battery checked at a battery place, said it was still in good condition, after I rode it a couple thousand miles since the jump
