Default Great News: IMA Battery Warrenty Extension

I just got a letter in the mail from Honda, they are extending the IMA Battery to 10 years or 150K. They are also suggesting Insight Owners have Honda run a diagnostic of the IMA module that might need updating. According to the letter it will change the charging routine and the amount it charges the battery.

It looks like the letter is for 2000 - 2004 Insights.

Ryan - Yes, I saw a copy of the letter posted somewhere on the net after reading your message. It is for 00-04. Hopefully that means they have more faith in the batteries for the later models. Thanks, John
