I suggest that you get a Service Manual for your Spyder. PDF versions are available for a modest cost. There are step-by-step instructions for testing the charging system with a multimeter.

My 2023 RT Limited battery won't keep a charge after sitting for three weeks without starting. I have already replaced it with a Noco Lithium which works great as long as it is run on a weekly basis. However, if it sits three or four weeks it slowly loses charge. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this battery drain problem?

did you get help?

It is the nature of the beast, there is a small draw on the battery from the computer, clock, and what not on all of them. There is one other thing I can tell you that will run havoc on your battery draw, which is any charging unit that plugs into the cigarette ports. I left a charger in the back trunk of mine with nothing in it but that little light that they put in them, which must draw a good charge all by themselves, because it brought my battery to its knees.
