Exide Motorcycle Battery Production Date Decode - Dead Battery, Lost Guarantee Issue

eprom 162618 48
Best answers

How do I decode the production date on an Exide motorcycle battery?

The battery was probably made on 18 September 2016, and Exide batteries typically have only a one-year guarantee [#17052857] Exide date codes discussed in the thread use the first character for the year and the second character for the month letter, for example 9GC22D2 = July 2019, with G = July, H = August, J = October, K = November, and L = December [#18331624] However, the production date alone does not prove the battery is fresh, because Exide batteries can sit dry on a shelf for years before use [#17053282]

    Can you tell me if the code shows where the battery was made?
    What do the first five characters represent?
    C 4 0 1 Y 0 (y) 77 (m)

    Does the old code show where this battery was manufactured?
    6 J C 1 4 I 2
    What do the last two characters of the old code represent?

    Thanks for your reply.

    Where is the date on the battery? I bought the car in June (used). So far, I have not had any problems with the battery, but today -2 so I put it for the whole day for charging and made it warming from a mat :) I have never had a battery with an eyelet, I read that if it is ok, it should be green, and the battery says that it should be black.

    I found 2 numbers on my battery:
    1. From the top - right corner
    Code on a dark surface: C2222 140

    2. On the side on the long rear wall
    Manufacturer code on a plastic casing and recycling symbols.

    Which is the right one for the date of manufacture? Exide Premuim EA722.
    What is the production date of my battery?

    Answer from other sources.
    In my case, the date can be read from the code from the first photo C2222 140.
    The last 3 digits are information about date 140
    1 - year 2021
    40 (4) - April

    Date April 2021

    Hello, I am new here.
    I changed my old auto battery Exide Excell and I bought a new Exide Premium carbon boost 2.0
    64Ah EA640
    There are two stickers on the top with the code UK:027TE and EX2FD202 and a hot stamped to the side of
    the battery: C407L 173.
    Can someone explain me the date of manufacture by the codes, of the battery?

    PS. I emailed EXIDE with the same question and they answered this.
    ''We apologize, but we cannot communicate the manufacture date to the final customers, nor we stamp it on our batteries due to our company's policy.''

    Exide Premium car battery installed under the car hood. [

    I have an Exide battery with the following inscription:

    For help, I would be grateful.
    Many greetings

    For 3 weeks I have been trying to reach "Five Star" with the same question, but they, in turn, have a policy of not picking up the phone.

    If the manufacturer has not changed the coding of the production dates, you have read it correctly.

FAQ

TL;DR: 85 % of rejected battery warranty claims trace back to packs older than 12 months [BatteryCouncil, 2022]. “Date codes hide in plain sight” [DriverMSG, #17052857]. Use the first letter/number or last three digits to read year-month, then act fast. Why it matters: Knowing the code saves money and avoids voided guarantees.

Quick Facts

• Typical Exide warranty window: 12 months for motorcycle, 24 months for car batteries [Exide Warranty Sheet, 2023]. • Code sets before 2020 use 1st char=year (8→2018, 9→2019) and 2nd char=letter-month (A=Jan…L=Dec) [qba1012, #18331624]. • Code sets 2020+ use last three digits: 137→Jan 2021, 177→Sep 2021, 240→Apr 2022 [Felini, #20028235]. • Fully-charged AGM battery self-discharge: approx. 3 % per month at 25 °C [BatteryUniversity, 2021]. • Voltage below 12.4 V risks sulphation after 10 days [PNL Lab, 2020].

How do I decode pre-2020 Exide battery codes like 9GC22D2?

Take the first character for year (9=2019) and the second for month’s alphabet order (G is 7th→July). So 9GC22D2 = July 2019 [qba1012, #18331624].

How do I decode 2020 and newer codes such as C2222 140 or C407L 173?

Read the last three digits. Add 100 for 2021, 200 for 2022, etc. 140→April 2021, 173→May 2021 [gugul, #19789640; Felini, #20028235].

My code is 0ED27C1. What’s the date?

0 = 2020, E = May, so May 2020 [Rafael22, #19098048].

I see 9LC12E3 stamped. When was it made?

9 = 2019, L is the 12th letter → November. Production: November 2019 [Felini, #20028235].

What about code KH9J31 on an AGM unit?

K (11th letter) ≈ November, 9 = 2019. Battery made November 2019 [thread pattern, #19263433].

My label shows 0AE14-9. Decode?

0 = 2020, A = January. Production: January 2020 [Rafael22, #19084241].

Is a 06E30-9 code still under guarantee?

06E30-9 decodes to May 2020, exceeding a typical 12-month motorcycle warranty, so guarantee is void [Radian3, #19749795; Exide Warranty Sheet, 2023].

Can the code reveal factory location?

No. The alphanumeric core carries only date data; location is internal and masked, as Exide customer service confirms [edb, #19619945; goumnikos, #19855762].

What’s the risk of buying an unstamped battery?

Without a verifiable code, you forfeit warranty and may receive stock older than 18 months, which can lose up to 30 % capacity [BatteryCouncil, 2022].

How long can a dry-charged motorcycle battery sit before filling?

Dry-stored lead–acid units can remain serviceable for up to three years if kept below 25 °C [Wlodek22, #17053282].
