The Odyssey AGM is less than 2 years old, charger about a year old.
Listen closely as the charger cycles on and off. Might have to crank up the volume.
Check out the volt meter readings too.
The battery is fully charged.

Odyssey says this charger is designed to be left connected during storage so that would mean the fan is running and the relay is constantly doing this on full charge.
After chatting with Odyssey shortly after I got the charger they said the cycling isn't normal and to send them the charger.
Before I sent it I put a tiny stamp in the case so I'd be sure I don't get the same one back so this is a new replacement.
I contacted them again telling them it's doing exactly the same thing.
They told me to send them the battery and charger. They would pay shipping for both if either was defective but it would be on me if neither were defective. Fair enough.
The tech support has been very good so no complaint there.
Well I never followed up on this so I'm wondering if anyone has this same charger and battery that cycles like this.
The battery works great, has plenty of reserve and cranks the bike better than any other battery I've run so I don't think there's any problem there. It just bugs me how it cycles on and off like this.
