We are always talking about the manufacture date of tires here but the manufacture date of batteries is never mentioned. It is something that I never gave a thought about until I read this article. I assume this applies to Deep Cycle batteries as well.
I got this from Consumer Reports, Nov. 2012, report on car batteries.
""Get a Fresh Battery" - Batteries lose strength over time, even when sitting on a store shelf. Look for a code printed on the case that uses a letter for the month (A is for January) and a number for the year (12 for 2012). Get one that is less than six months old."
