Honda Admits to Premature Battery Deteriation
Well, I decided to start a new post so that it is more focused for site searching on this website, please lock the OTHER post and keep this one open
Taken from an internal service bulletin dated March 31, 2006
"WARRENTY EXTENSION: IMA BATTERY PREMATURE DETERIORATION DTC P1447 OR 1449
The IMA battery may be susceptible to premature deterioration in which case the MIL will be illuminated and DTC P1447 or P1449 can be retrieved. The warranty period on the IMA battery is extended to 10 years or 240,000km, whichever comes first.
AFFECTED VEHICLES:
200-2004 .............. ALL"
When my main computer is up and running I will scan this and post it for you to read and download
Other interesting information in service bulletins I have recieved
Honda Canada INTERNAL bulletins
-Pass. Side Airbag recall
-Window Down fuction
-EVAP bypass solenoid valve
these i will also scan and post
-EMISSIONS RECALL NOT CORRECTLY IDENTIFING THE LAF 02 SENSOR

Re: Honda Admits to Premature Battery Deteriation
Questions:
1: How can you tell if your battery is deteriorating, ahead of schedule?
2: Only 1.2 hours to replace the battery pack? (rhetorical.)

1.2 hours is plenty of time to replace it. They can probably do it in less that 45 minutes maybe even less. You just have to remove the back seat and unbolt a few bolts.
Nice of honda to extend the warranty to make sure they get rid of all the bad packs. Kudos to honda for taking the extra step for its customers.

tbaleno - Where's this "back seat" you make mention of? 
HONDASUCKS - Thanks for that update. It sounds as though **YOU** may have made a difference. I know my battery pack's days are numbered but I've been having frequent recals for 15,000 miles now. I wonder if/when they'll make this happen in the US.
