This ALSO INCLUDES ECU DIAGnostic software, questions and mapping. We work very hard to offer commercially supported products and to keep info relevant here. First offense is a note, second is a warning, third time will get you banned from the site. We don't have the time to chase repeat (and ignorant) offenders. This is NOT a social media platform; It's an ad-free, privately funded website, in small help with user donations.

Coils on Convert are cooking while on 2A charge.

Not sure, not much to go by, but it sounds like the coils are getting power while the key is in the "off" position. I'd start tracking the power circuit to the coils. Are you running points or Dyna? It probably wouldn't hurt to check the ground path as well.

Don, you saying that the coils are hot with the ignition off but the batteries on a charger? That sounds odd. As for me, I'm old school, never put a charger on the battery without disconnecting both leads, which would make your scenario impossible. My old T3 (same bike as your Convert, essentially) sits a lot from time to time. Sometimes it takes me up to 2 months or more to burn through a 6 gallon tank of gas, but even so I virtually never have to put the old style Interstate open cell lead acid battery I use on a charger, & it still lasts for several years every time. I happen to have Dyna ignition & coils, both in use forever without issue.
