That is the way the DC-DC unit dies.  On and off for longer periods of time. 
The chargers will do the same.  Lower how high they can charge the battery until it fully fails.

I'd say it's 90% a failing converter.

That is the way my DC-DC converter died. And with all of the Police stuff hooked up to the bike in the past, it likely put a lot of stress on the converter, which is already a marginal part.

Just an update on this. The 12v system was off for about a month after which I changed headlight bulb to LED and actually ride with it off most the time as I only ride in daylight. So 12v has stayed on for last 5 months without issues. I suspect old headlight bulb maybe overloaded 12v system. Dunno but it seems fine now.
