I disconnected my battery from my bike and it read 7volts. I connected the battery straight to the tender and it started to charge fine. Then I connected the tender to my bike and there were no beeps. I reconnected the battery to my bike immediately without full charge and then hooked up the tender. Again it started beeping. I now have the battery disconnected and charging. The beeping was coming from the bike somewhere. I haven't had much time to take the side cover off and see where it's coming from but I will. The battery that I have I bought 4 weeks ago. And the battery loss charge 5 days after I last rode it. I would think it would hold charge longer than 5 days.
7 volts? The battery is destroyed. You have one or more dead cells. Buy a new battery. It doesn't matter that you just bought it. In fact, since you just bought it, you should probably be able to get a brand new one, free, under warranty. Minimum voltage with no damage is about 12 volts. Zero charge is 10.5. You battery is well beyond death.
Nothing on the bike beeps. It's your charger and your ears playing tricks on you. The human brain is abysmally bad at determining the direction of sound even though we have stereophonic hearing -- we tend to go with whatever our eyes are telling us.
