Worth trying with the new unit.
I have the pukka Ducati version, I’m beginning to think it’s not a “smart” charge, just a basic item with a posh badge...

Bike has been on it for 24 hours, battery voltage is about 13.2v and the bike starts just fine. Going to leave it unplugged for 24 hours and see what the voltage is then
