I have a 2012 road glide and if I do not put it on the charger after 4 days the battery is dead. I took it back to the dealer and they say they can not find any thing wrong with it. Has any one had the same problem?

 

Lots of problems with voltage regulators on 2012 models.

 

That is a lame *** answer. You need to find another dealer who does not have a glass belly button.
You more than likely have a bad battery that won't hold a charge, a bad voltage regulator or something has a short in it, like a pinched or bare wire.

 

Not sure about bikes but on old cars we used to put DVM to read amps in line with disc battery lead. Will show current draw if indeed something drawing down when all is off. Remove singe fuse at a time to narrow to a circuit. Im betting can do the same for this. Radios typically have some draw for the clock function to stay correct.

 

Are you still under warranty (figure you still are)? I had just a dead battery on my 12 Heritage and the Dealership replaced it under warranty (free).

 

My 2013 RGC did e same thing. Turned out to be a bad battery. Replaced under warranty

 

Thanks for all the help I will try a new dealer.

 

The problem might lie with trying to recharge a dead battery or one that has dropped voltage below what is considered minimal. Read the article below. It pertains to car size batteries but the H-D battery is AGM and the rules still apply.

My 13 street glide had the same problem, bad battery. After a while it wouldnt even hold a charge overnight.............

 

Bad battery, new doesn't always mean good!
