He did say he replaced it in Jan of this year and it checked good, but still that's no indication of a good battery.
Epic! I get your battery is good. But it's not.
Thanks for the replies! And apparently good advice...
Thank you, when I meant 'tested' I meant I took it to the local Autozone and had them run a what I presume is a load test. I'm guessing this is not the end all be all of verifying the battery is good?
In any event, last night once the battery was showing fully charged I removed the charger and checked the voltage and it was showing 13.13v...this morning it read 12.87v. I also took the advice of cleaning the connection points, using some Emory paper I removed the bit of corrosion on the negative terminal, the terminals themselves, and scuffed up the two ground connections (and the mounting area). And guess what...She fired up this morning!
I'l be damned, I've never had something act so dead over a little bit of corrosion or oxidation, but I suppose you can learn something new every day!
Still need to reattach my powerlet adapter leads and maybe my Garmin (though I use that less frequently these days), so will monitor and periodically start and run the bike before taking any trips.
Thank you all for the clue!

Of course it COULD be something else... but start with the 90%.

No, buy a battery tender
