DIY 029 How Old Is Your Battery?

How Old Is Your Battery?

Check the age of the battery using one of these methods:

Vehicle Manufacture Date:
Original-equipment batteries will be the age of the vehicle (month and year manufactured).

Shipping Date code:
A code stamped into the cover or printed on a sticker indicates the month and year the battery was shipped (the first two characters of a four-character code).

3.Manufacture Date code:
Instead of using a Shipping Date Code, some batteries have a
Manufacture Date Code heat-stamped into the case or cover,
usually along the top edge of the battery.

Such as 8294CB where 8=1998, 294 = day of year (Oct 20).
