Probably the other way around. Ducati are not known for having good electricals, so they probably contributed to the “early” demise of the battery. When the stator went out I ran the battery flat both times, who knows what harm I did when the 3 rectifiers fried before i was smart enough to get a MOSFET rectifier. It always charged right back up after getting the bike back together but I’m sure the long term health of the battery suffered.
wow, i don’t know anyone else that’s gone through one of these. do you attribute the failed components on the battery?

curious if you used their charger at any point?
no, never. my bike is a daily driver and we don’t have real winter so it rarely sits for more than a couple days at a time.
