DAY 1 I finally installed the comfort indicator eyelet 2 days ago. When I did it's middle(of 3) light came on. I then plugged it into the US 800 charger, and the charger into an AC outlet. The charger's "charging" light came on. The indicator's middle(yellow) light implies that a charge is recommended. The red light implies that a charge is needed. Within 3 or 4 minutes the lights on both units went to the green(charged status). My battery was fine with 3 1/2 months of riding/being parked. I left things hooked up for a few minutes before unplugging them. I didn't like that the comfort indicator's lights flashed almost every second, thinking that this may cause an unnecessary current draw. I went away and returned in 5 hours. The indicator's light was now in the red. It wasn't red initially with no battery charging in the 3 1/2 months I've owned the bike since it was purchased new. I didn't feel like working on it anymore that night, so I hooked the US 800 back up and decided to leave it that way overnight. I also decided at that time to remove the indicator and install the one(without lights) that came with the US 800. I also decided to take the battery out and check the electrolyte level in each cell.
