Question, I have a 2014 SG, what can I do to allow me to listen to my music charge my phone while parked for an extended amount of time without the battery dying?

Thanks

Use an auxiliary power pack to power your phone. About $12-$14 at your electronics store or Walmuck or Target
 
Battery

I wasn't talking about the phone dying, I was talking about the bike. If I let my music play through the bike for an extended period of time, the bike struggles to turn over....I'm guessing I cant run the radio on a bike like you can on a car....

Just get a nice pair of ear buds and save your battery.

Carry a pair of jumper cables just in case...but the radio draws a lot of amps and will run the battery down fairly fast.
 
If would carry a battery jump pack like this one I just bought.

From Hogtunes:

Your charging system does not really start replenishing the battery until it’s at 1500 RPM and higher for extended
periods. (Remember this next time you see a badass bike parked out side a bar with WAY too big a stereo
cranked and the bike idling) When you hit the start button, you take a pile of reserve power out of the battery, and
just having your bike idling will not get the battery levels back where they need to be. This can totally lead to
early battery failure! The only real way to get the battery back up is to go for a ride, or putting the battery on a
“tender” type device and leaving it till its time to go for the next ride.

True story!

Here's an idea. Follow the marine industry. Put extra batteries in your saddlebags, and select which battery you want to charge/use. As your stereo battery dies, switch over to start the bike. As for me, I don't want to clutter up my bags, unless it is for beer.
