I put in a new battery which went dead after a few hours of riding. The bike started when jumped and ran OK except the speedometer didn't work and the lights were dim.
If you jumped it from a car you likely destroyed your stator.
Like most modern vehicles, Harleys use a 12 volt system. However, the correct voltage reading on a modern sealed Harley battery should be no less than 12.8 volts two hours after charging. Any less means the battery is beginning to fail.
When your Kindle is charging, you should see a lightning bolt symbol on the battery icon in the top right corner of the screen. Additionally, the indicator light on the bottom of the device will turn amber when charging is in progress. If your Kindle is plugged in but not charging, try using a different charging cable or power source to troubleshoot the issue.
No, stop charging and replace.
not unless its not charging what its supposed to be charging.
How long should I leave a battery on charge
This is a loaded question. The new battery should be charged, but it should not require charging, it should be charged between 80 and 100% when sold with out any extra attention. Most motorcycle batteries operate in thwe 80% to 90% charged range depending on how they are used.

There should be a little light next to the off button. Its green when the battery if fully charged, its orange when its charging/ needs charging and its red when its got very low battery. I hope this helps you :D
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.
