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

2. On the side on the long rear wall

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.''

Good day!
Sorry, I know this topic has been discussed 100 times already. I still can't figure it out.
I have an Exide battery with the following inscription:
9LC12E3.
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.

@goumnikos 173 = May 2021
@schrauber311 9L = November 2019

Since 2020, Centra and Exide have had the following coding:

Battery production date code highlighting the year 2021.

Battery code indicating production date.

2020	2021

039 - March 2020	139 - March 2021
040 - April 2020	140 - April 2021
073 - May 2020	173 - May 2021
074 - June 2020	174 - June 2021

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

Hello, can you help me too?

I found the following codes on my Exide EK 700:

I assume that the first code is the right one D4138 277? The last number is truncated, but I'm typing it should be a 7. So September 2022? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Second, I bought an Exide EK131 with the following code:

So far I have only found the information that the motorcycle batteries have the date directly on them. In this case, the date of manufacture would be 10/31/2021 according to the American date format. Is that also correct?

Thank you for your feedback!

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around decoding the production date of Exide motorcycle batteries, particularly in cases where the battery is dead and the warranty is lost. Users share methods to interpret the production codes, with examples illustrating how to extract the year and month from the alphanumeric codes on the batteries. Common issues include batteries that do not hold charge and the challenge of determining the age of a battery when the seller cannot provide information. Several users inquire about specific battery models and their production dates, while others caution against purchasing batteries with unclear production codes. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding battery codes for warranty and performance considerations.
Summary generated by the language model.

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].
