Question about battery charging...

So I'm charging my battery for the first time (non-fast charger) and about 10 minutes in, it started making a very loud noise. Sounds like a fan. Is this normal? Also, is there a position I should put the charger in that's better than any other position? Like, side that it should rest on for least heat or something? Thanks!

Alarm question

Just picked up my 64 yesterday and am confused about the fob alarm. When I hit the Lock button, the bike beeps once to confirm it's engaged. However, after a few seconds, it just keeps beeping as if the bike is being moved even though it's on its mid-stand and not being touched.

When I hit the Unlock, it stops, but obviously is no longer engaged.

What am I not understanding here?

I have a friend who has tech-addiction problems. However, she's also a writer. Because she's not very tech-savvy, she's asked if I could somehow make it so that her Viwoods Reader only has Obsidian it and doesn't have access to the Play Store once it's on there.

I am relatively tech-savvy but am a Mac person mostly. I thought of the following but no idea if they will work:

a. Don't enable Play services. Side-load Obsidian.

b. Enable Play services, download Obsidian, de-enable Play services.

c. Enable Play services, install Obsidian. Hide or lock everything else.

d. Something else?

The first option is probably favored as I would be able to do it without getting her to log into her Google account, but no idea if that's possible.

Suggestions?

She literally just wants to use it as a writer deck screen and nothing else and wants to have no ability to use it for anything else or temptation to do so as that will distract from the writing.

Thanks!
