Are you talking about a load test? If so they are not expensive.

did they check the regulator and stator voltage readings..one or the other is bad..I am guessing the regulator at this point..If you have a manual and a meter you can check youself..My 2012 battery died last week , just replaced with H D new one . Before it went dead had the check engine and battery light come on while going down hwy. the volt gauge also dropped below 12 volts . I bought and installed the new one . Took it for a ride and the check engine and battery light came on again . Took it to H D shop only thing they could find was battery bolts needed about half turn more on each . Went for a ride yesterday and volt gauge went down to 10 volts twice . Has anyone had this happen ? Trike still in warranty but still had to pay half hour labor !

Take this suggestion and save yourself some grief. Every three years switch your battery out. Like the gentleman said, some last 2 yrs and some last 7. Nothing is worse than to be on a trip or a ride and have the battery die. And when they die most do not give you a warning. It's not worth the headache to have to worry about it. I usually buy a Harley battery for my Ultra and a Westco, for my "other" bike. (I understand I'm not permitted to mention it on this site)
