Re: New battery dead?
You need over 14.2 volts to keep a 12 volt battery in good shape - 13.7 volts is the 'float voltage' which will keep battery on a low trickle charge ( sort of voltage that the battery maintainers settle down to when they are happy with battery ).
As soon as the OEM battery on my 2016 AL7 packs up I will be getting a Yuasa AGM, I have done this on other bikes and had no regrets, got Yuasa Silver batteries on our cars as well. I used to work at a company making battery production equipment and Yuasa was one of our customers, their R&D, technology and quality control was way ahead of others.
