Nearly all automotive batteries have two sets of consecutive numbers at the top of the battery. One row of numbers is meant to signify the last digit of the year the battery was purchased (such as '7' for 2007, or '9' for 2009). The other row is meant to signify the month of purchase. The second digit from the left is the year the battery was shipped from the factory. 4 = 2004, 5 = 2005, 6 = 2006, 7 = 2007, 8 = 2008, 9 = 2009, 0 = 2010, 1 = 2011, 2 = 2012, etc. Usually, a battery is sold during the first three months after it is received from manufacturing plant. The second letter should be a number. 0 stands for 2010, 1 stands for 2001, 2 stands for 2002, and so on. Therefore, D 8 would mean the battery was shipped in April 2008. Step 4 Decipher the remaining numbers and letters.
