Remove from the mc, disconnecting the ground cable first. Then hook up to a trickle charger at 10% the amp hour rating of the battery. Probably 2 amp. Charge fully, overnight is a good bet. Then load test the battery with an iron type load tester. Any auto parts store will usually do this for you at no charge. If it passes, reinstall battery in the mc reconnecting the ground cable LAST!! Then have fun riding. If the battery doesn't pass the load test, replace the battery new, and follow the previous charging procedure BEFORE you install into the bike. I dont care if it is "new" the battery had surely been sitting around waiting for you to come buy it. Recharge, install and ride away.

How do you charge Harley battery?
If it's a factory-installed sealed battery, charge it at 10 amps for 1 hour or charge it at 2 amps for 5 to 10 hours. If in doubt, use an automatic charger. For even better results, keep the bike on a battery tender whenever it's parked, which cannot overcharge the battery. A fully charged sealed Harley battery should read no less than 12.8 volts a minimum of two hours after charging. Any less voltage means the battery is failing and will eventually need to be replaced.
How do you charge 2004 Harley sportster battery?
I just replaced a Harley battery with a YUASA, YTX20L-BS. It has the same construction, AGM, as the original, Harley battery. The charging information was on the top of the battery. It specified 13.00 volts as a full charge. A normal charge rate is 1.8A for 5 to 10 hrs. A quick charge is 9.0A for 1 hr. It is important not to let the battery get hot to the touch. Here are some useful websites: http://www.yuasabatteries.com/motor_battery.asp http://www.rversonline.org/ArtAGM.html Note the 14.0v maximum. Some auto chargers put an alternating current (AC) component on the output. You may wish to consider a charger designed for your battery to optimize its life. If you have accessories or an alarm make sure you don't need to disconnect them before charging the battery to prevent damage.
