My friend fried 3 batteries parking his bike for winter. One every year for 3 years. Your trickle charger fried the battery. You are supposed to use a battery TENDER

Damn man, step back off the ledge, take your meds, and go find out what's up. Hell, it make even be a bad connection. Check the terminals for corrosion or if they are loose. If you are using a trickle charger, you did probably fry the battery. Either way, its just a battery.

why don't you use the colt and put that bike out if it's misery!
It surely must be miserable being owned by you!

I didn't even buy a battery tender til 3 weeks ago,from wal Mart. Cheapest one they had. Started my bike yesterday for tge first time in months and if fired just like it always does. I have the plug into the heated gear thingy. Works great.
Sorry for your issues. It was a funny rant to read. Gonna go sit on my easy starting Harley now. Huff some exhaust fumes and maybe do a burnout in my garage.
