I e-mailed Brent and he responded within the same day. I provided him with the Battery build date. I'll see what happens.

I removed the battery from the bike, charged it and then connected a battery load tester to it. Initially under no load it read just over 12 volts. Under load it went down to 6 volts within 2 seconds. Per the Battery load tester the battery is beyond bad.
