How to Read a US Battery Date Code??<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The date code on a battery can tell you a lot about the age and condition of the battery. In the US, the date code is typically stamped into the metal casing of the battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The format for this code will vary depending on the manufacturer, but it will usually consist of letters and numbers that indicate the month and year of manufacture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a guide to reading the date code<\/a> on a Flooded Lead Acid (FLA) battery:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first letter in the code indicates the month of manufacture. The letters are A-L with A being January and L being December. The second number in the code indicates the year of manufacture and The last letter in the code refers to the plant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
