From hanging round the myimiev forum I've learned that the warranty on the iMiev battery was extended to 10 years and 100k miles. There have been relatively few packs that needed to be replaced, and Mitsubishi has been very cooperative in handling those replacements, without regard for whether the claim is submitted by the first or subsequent owners.
I'd try the dealer, and expect that there might be some reluctance on their part simply due to the fact that many dealers have never even seen one of these cars and don't know what to expect from Mitsubishi. Once the factory is engaged, all should go smoothly. The myimiev forum is pretty international, so this should apply wherever the problem arises.
