I called the Brammo folks in Oregon and they assured me that Victory will be obliged to do warranty support on the poor little orphan, and that the new motorcycle is a new vehicle 'til sold.  So the 5 year battery warranty starts when we buy the bike, regardless of date of manufacture.

So,,, we went ahead and bought the wee rascal.  Going to pick it up this Saturday.  Wish us luck.

Hi gang, CasperO here from Athens Ohio.

Experienced rider and MSF coach considering buying an NOS Enertia Plus and looking for information about battery lifespan.

I've found a leftover bike at a dealer here in the region and I have questions.  It's a new-unsold 2013 Enertia plus.  I've done my research on the unit and I'm satisfied that a reasonably functional Enertia Plus will serve our local commuter needs pretty well.

My fear is that this thing has been sitting around for 3 years, maybe more.  It's my understanding that Lithium Ion batteries have a pretty tight shelf life, and this poor orphan is probably sitting there with 0 miles on the clock and needs a new battery pack, or at least the pack is in pretty bad shape.

SO - what's the guess here?  Is this thing going to need a hot cash injection right away?  Might I be Ok?  Are these packs even available any more?

Also - our nearest Indian dealer in in Columbus, and when I called them and asked about servicing the legacy Brammo products they really didn't seem to know what I was talking about.  They did helpfully reassure me (3 times) that if I came in and wrote a big check for a new Electro-Indian, they would service that.   ???

Looking forward to your replies.  Thank you,
