4.3 Battery Dating on the Battery Labels
The battery modules display a serial number/part number label, whose placement
on the battery is shown in
FIGURE 4-1 and FIGURE 4-2.
Below the top bar code is a seven-digit code that indicates the place of manufacture,
followed by a dash (–), followed by a four-digit code that indicates the date of
manufacture, followed by a six-digit supplier-assigned serial number.
In
FIGURE 4-1, the example date of battery manufacture is indicated by “0240,” where
“02” is the year of manufacture and “40” is the week of manufacture. If a battery
does not have a serial number/part number label, the manufacture date for the
battery is August 2002.
