Hi, I'm still considering of getting an I2 but I am worry about how the IMA battery is going to react under the hot sun in this country. From what I've read from I2 owners in other country, the IMA battery will discharge by itself under hot weather and this will cause loss of power because the electric motor will not be able to assist. This also will greatly shorten the lifespan of the battery. This happened alot in the Civic Hybrid and the the IMA system used in the CIVIC is the same as in the one in I2.

Do any of the Malaysian I2 owner face problem with the IMA battery especially when parked under the hot sun for long period of time?

I2 = Insight Gen 2

My only concern is that the IMA Battery is not design for country with extreme hot weather like ours.

I just hope what u guys said are right because all of the comments from people in the US facing problem with the IMA battery only happens during summer time.

Also the IMA Battery warranty is only applicable if the IMA System failure indicator appears. Meaning if your IMA battery shut-off or has lower charge to assist the engine and causes the milleage performance to drop but is not fully failing, Honda Malaysia won't replaced it.

Maybe I should wait a little while before getting one.
Thanks for all the feedback.
