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.
