They use AAA batteries in the current version of the controller

So, if you turn on the boot insoles, jacket liner, gloves, seat and grips and idle too long at the traffic light, the check engine and battery light comes on.

What does the volt meter read?

Was above 14 until I stopped, then just below 14. But that is the HD gauge, never checked it with a DVM

Never had a problem with that, though with the thermostat you're rarely (if ever) pulling max draw on all the heated gear.

I am in the 1st 10 minutes or so.

As the stuff warms up?  OK, I can see that, but even with those three items running full-tilt, your gear's only drawing 9.8 amps.  No way that should cause any problem with your charging system.

5 heat items, heated grips (max) heated seat (2nd or 3rd level) too.

And, spotlights are always on as well as the Motolights (LED's now). Hawg wired amps, tourpak with tail, spoiler and side lights, SG fender extension with light, all small draws, but the cumulative total I'm sure is approaching the max of what is available at idle.

Go to the 2006 rotor, stator and regulator if pushing past supply at idle.  The three phase charging system supplies much better at low RPM.

Ahh, just saw you're an '05.  Makes sense.
