So it looks like my battery charger-lead is broken. I popped off the fuse cover and just touched the charger connectors to the battery directly and it started charging
now i've popped off the battery cover and clipped on the charger, charging light is on
I will test in an hour.

I just kept taking pieces off until the dash would come up! Strange, after i re-filled the headlight fluid things really started cooking.

my buddy has an 1198s and went through 3 batteries in a year. it was constantly draining power and they couldnt figure out why. its finally fixed there was a connection problem so the battery wouldnt hold the charge when they thought it would. hope this helps

Good news!
I guess that is why the ducati owners manual states to use the DP charger which costs about 40% more than the battery tender equivalent, connected through the trunk accessory connector. Using anything else may cause problems, in this case the SAE quick disconnect cable messed up, an easy fix. We'll the good charges sense a defect in the battery circuit, so if the charger shows battery fault, then would definitely check the battery connections first. Glad it worked out.

Yeah no that's called a profit margin, drink your kool-aid.
