Tighten your battery terminal leads tight. How old is your battery. Maybe take it out and load test it.

Bummer....
First off what year is your RT..?? Would help tell the age of your battery. check all your ground and terminal connections. Now you mention an 8amp and a 2amp charger. We're they connected to the battery during the 5 days..?? You should have a tender or maintainer you can hook up when not ryding but not a charger. Depending on what add ons you have and even if none RT's tend to need the tenders. You should also get the battery tested have seen them last from 3 to 7 years depending...

I purchased the battery tender jr. also have a -- ctek maintainer --- the ctek has battery post terminals with led lights on the end , gives an idea of how much juice you have in the battery , green / yellow/ red green is great ( just got back from a ride ) yellow is at or around 60 % to 80% battery life / red plug it into the charger this is the photo of the l-e-d- lights on the battery side ( see that green light is on )

AND.....you still haven't told us how old your RT is.......or how old the battery is.
It is highly likely that your battery has just reached the end of it's useful life.
After you get a new battery installed, which has been fully charged first, you need to measure the battery voltage with the bike running.......to be sure your charging system is working.
A healthy battery should easily sit for a couple of weeks without any kind of charger attached.
But if you must, a fully automatic one is required.
The total capacity isn't that important because that is under worst conditions and if it really is automatic, the charging rate won't get anywhere near the max. capacity of the charger.

What model is your Spyder?
What year is your Spyder?
What modifications or accessories do you have?
How old is your Spyders battery?
When was the last time the battery was load tested?
What is the system voltage, at the battery, with the engine running?
Inquiring minds want to know.

So it is about 6 years old now.
Might as well just start shopping for a new battery.
Age plus symptoms = about a 90% chance that it is just the battery.

battery need to find out some thing about a noise---

Don't know. I don't remember being near mine that long after shutting it off.
Trying to describe the noise might be helpful.

The noise you hear after shutdown is from the throttle bodys. The throttle plates are held shut for 40 minutes. This was introduced in the 2011 RT models to correct a hot start problem. The noise is described in your owners manual somewhere.

The noise is a high frequency whine. Think of a whistling teapot--only more high pitched.

Your 2017 RT does not make that noise because it has a 1330cc triple engine. The noise applies to the 998cc V-twin with throttle by wire engines only.
