Battery Always on Float

“4 yr old battery, always on float charger, no trouble, FAILURE !! Will not start with jumper cables. Bat reads 13.25 volts. Swapped bat with another bike; starts right up, other bike does NOT. Terminal is clean. Can you explain this? Your video collection shows nothing on batteries.”

Thank you for the question. So you took out the battery from the ’07 Night Train and put it in another motorcycle and that motorcycle started with the 4 yr old battery that was on float? Have you done a full charging system check? We do have several videos on the topic.
