I normally pull the battery out of my Ultra for the winter. The bike had been sitting for several weeks when I finally removed the battery and put it on a battery tender. What voltage should I look for that would indicate the battery is fully charged? There is a piece of masking tape on the battery that indicates the measured voltage fully charged was 14.1 volts in 2009. Is there a mnimum voltage I should look for to determine if a new battery is or isn't required?

If you have been having no starting issues I wouldn't sweat it, the battery is still pretty new. I normally replace the battery every 4 years, but then I'm kind of **** about certain things. If your concerned you can have dealer test it, they can put a load on it and tell if there is a bad cell.
