Rode my bike last weekend, started great. unloaded it off the stand the next day and when I dropped the back wheel on the ground the battery started to sound like it was starting. Hit the seat and it did it again, then went to start it and it had no juice. Charged the battery, started up great then the next day same problem. Any advice

Sounds like electric issue I'd check batt leads are all tight and also check make sure starter switch is not shorting out. Depending how new the bike is? Husky is very good about warranty any issues

Regulator/rectifier could be bad causing a draw on the battery.

Do a current draw test and see if there is draw on the battery with the engine off.

Then disconnect the regulator and do the test again if the draw is less the regulator is drawing down your battery.

If the battery has a bad cell it can do this. It can also show good voltage until put under a load and then the voltage will drop like a rock.
How old is the battery?

I remember KTM having problems with batteries last year if you didn't charge it full the first time.

I've upgraded to a new WPS feather light battery. Not sure which exact one fits your bike. I can look at my model number tomorrow.

Yeah it's a 15 husky I got new in Feb of 16. Not sure why it makes a noise when I smack the seat or drop it off the stand

Maybe a video of the noise will help us?

My FC started doing that after I had washed bike with the seat off.

Mine was damp around the ECU connections.

Either the connections at the terminal is bad or the connections inside the battery are bad.

Give us a call at 920-545-4956 and I can talk you through a few things to test.
