Battery Showing 36 Volts, then started & now OK! What the??
Brand new AGM in my Spyder. Bike Hasn’t been out yet since, but it’s been plugged into my tender for a month. I have a Foxwell Battery Analyzer and just for fun, I thought I would test the new battery. I disconnected the harness plug for the tender, hooked up my tester and it’s showing 36.3 volts!! I’m like wtf. So, I disconnected the bike wiring from the battery and tested just the bare battery and it’s 13.9 and passes load testing. Soon as I reconnect it to the bike, it shows 36 volts again. Key off, motor off. Is there some sort of capacitor in the system that’s it’s seeing??
UPDATE: I started the bike and it fired right up. No codes. Only ran it for maybe 30 seconds
and shut it off. Retested battery with bike connected and got 13.6. I have no clue what was going on.

The trigger’s been pulled. We have to
get there before the hammer falls.

It sounds like your first (and only?) 36v reading was faulty for some reason.
