I sold my house and the one that I was building was not ready yet. I moved in with some friends and left the bike at a neighbors house while I finished. It was outside uncovered (didn't want to make a nice mouse house) for 3 1/2 months. Not plugged in. I am in the PNW so the weather is not great this time of year. I went there yesterday to take the battery out because it for sure would be toast. I turned the key and it sprang to life. Hit the starter button and the darn thing fired right up! No hesitation. Went back today and rode it home.
