    First of all, yes, that is the truth, second, yes, I am incompetent. I work with computers, not bikes. That's why I am asking people stuff :-).

    On that one, YOU are partially wrong. The battery has a 2 year warranty that I DID NOT failed to inquire. Despite that, they all died within a year (I mean, the previous lead acid batteries one).

    Again, as you said, I am incompetent. Also, I hope my local HD dealer is not because, if you are right, he failed to check it a couple days ago.

    Well, that is interesting because I am definitly using a charger that is always connecting on the battery while the bike is not used. It might not be the good way to do but that is what is written on the user manual. And again, dispite that the previous lead acid batteries all died while the lithium battery did not.

    Anyways, I don't want to argue on that lead acid battery vs lithium batteries. There is not point. All what I want to know is if my battery is having the behaviour it is suppose to have. That is it.
