Default Questions on a possible battery warranty

Hey, I purchased a used insight with roughly 180,000 on the odometer. Included in the receipts is a diagnostic receipt from a Honda dealer stating that the IMA battery needs replacement as well as possibly the battery monitor (Or something similar to this). This was at 115,000 miles. So, I am assuming that the battery must have been replaced at this time, but I don't have a receipt or any documentation for it. Do you think that I would have to track down the specific Honda dealer that the battery was replaced at (in order to honor a possible warranty) and also would Honda even provide a warranty on something like this?

There is no warranty if the car has 180,000 miles.

New to this forum apologies if I am not using it right.

I am in the UK, no battery warranty here as I understand it?

Can anyone give me chapter and verse (Eli?) on what the warranty situation in the US is?

I think some politiking could be in order in the UK...

Thanks.

Done some of that searching didn't find anything straightforward. (Perhaps its not.) This looks probably out of date?
