Not on a FF but on my M/C I had a new battery sitting for over 2 years due to circumstances and after charging up with a "conditioner" it worked. Admittedly the wet acid type and the acid was not filled until put into use.

I would imagine it will be pretty much as good as new. A few extra months on the shelf won’t have hurt it. I doubt it will even need a charge. But as above check the voltage and put it on charge overnight if it’s a bit low. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I have had an old battery sitting about in my garage for a couple of years. Still shows 12+ volts when I check it, but doubt if it would crank a TD6 without a good charge .
