The production dates are on the top of the battery and the appropriate dots are poked when when the the liquid is added...at least that is supposed to be the case. My battery in a 2018 AGM. I will test it next spring and if not perfect, change it, but my almost always tendered batteries last a long time! I have not a had a battery fail in less than 5 yrs....

I suspect that is a 2012 battery 9/05/12

Call me stupid, but it seems odd that a 2015 car would have a 2012 battery?

Hi Sag,

A lot of things you would rather not know about make up "dealer prep". Find a reliable mechanic (of any stripe) to do a hydrometer test on your battery; that will let you know its condition.

Regards,

You all will be thrilled to learn that I have purchased a new battery which was manufactured June 2022 with a 3 yr warranty!!!... I will refrain from specifying the brand and type in order to prevent this thread from generating more controversy. Haha.

I didn't really think it was that big of deal..It's the internet so it kinda goes like that..I don't think it was keeping anyone up at night...J

Definitely not keeping anyone up! yes, I got a Black Friday deal on a 40 pack of Energizer AA's so the car started once, but all kinds of warning lights on the dash. any ideas what that may be from?

Actually got a Duralast AGM Platinum battery from Autozone. Made by JCL June of 22 and a 3 yr warranty. maybe not everyone's first choice, but the place is close to home so convenience won out over anything else. They had a bunch in stock so I feel good that if something goes wrong I can easily get a new one. Guy at the counter was looking up the car and said "never had to look up one of these cars before ... Dang that's the biggest battery we have"

I get it...You can't argue with success...Do make sure you save your receipt if you have an issue...Those places kinda count on your normal DA losing the receipt...J
