One of the important characteristics of the automotive battery is the release date. Each manufacturer shall be labeled out the release date in its own way. There are many stamps of batteries, and all of them, perhaps, do not list. We will analyze several common.

The first letter is the designation of the country of the manufacturer: E or G - Spain, H - Germany, S - Sweden, A - Austria, C - Czech Republic, F or R - France. The first number is the conveyor number. The second letter denotation is a shipping feature (E- for auto plants, V- for retail sales). The second number is the last digit in the year of manufacture. The third and fourth number is the month of production. Fifth and sixth number - day. The last digit indicates the shift number. For example: C3V112302. So, the acb is made at the factory in the Czech Republic, designed for retail. Manufacturing date on December 30, 2011.

Bosch batteries. Full marking is similar to the marking of VARTA acB. Additionally, the marking is re-applied to the central part of the sticker located on the front side of the battery, and consists of a three-digit digital code. The first number is the last digit of the year of production, the following two is a month of production. For example: 009 - AKB issued in September 2010; 105 - May 2011.

Mutlu batteries. Marking is applied with a laser on the top of the case. Consists of a six-digit number. The first digit is the line, the second is the designation of the year of release. The third and fourth is a month, the last two - day. For example: 410819. Akb made on August 19 in 2011 on the second line.

ATLAS, BOST batteries. The marking is located under the abbu handle. Consists of a combination of letters and numbers. The code is read on the first digit, denoting the year of manufacture, and the Latin letter - month (the sequence number of the letter in the alphabet corresponds to the month of manufacture). There is no letter I in marking. For example: 2GKJ10. Made in July 2012.
5
Panasonic batteries. The marking is applied to the top label. The code on the principle of the Number / month / year is decrypted. For example: 181011a. Manufacturing date October 18, 2011.
6
Titan accumulators, Titan Arctic. Marking from seven digits is located near the plus terminal or on the top cover. The first and second digit is the number of month, the third and fourth is a month, the fifth and sixth year of manufacture. The last digit is the line at the factory.

Cobat batteries. Marking in the form of a digital-letter combination is applied in the center of the battery cover using the printer. The first number is the day of the week. Second, third number - week a year. The fourth position is the letter denotation. The last digit is the shift number. Namely: H - 2011, V - 2012, N - 2013, Z - 2014, P- 2015. For example: 208n1, it means that the battery is released on Tuesday February 22 (eighth week) in 2011 by the first shift.
Remember that the battery is subjected to self-discharge processes from the moment of operation. With long-term storage, a self-discord can achieve such a mark that the battery will lose its operational characteristics. Therefore, it is better to immediately clarify the date of production of AKB from sellers in the store.
