Hi

As the title suggests can any date a Exide battery that is on my recently purchased Freelander 2

It is an Exide EB802 with an etched number of 7G0 3Z1, many thanks for any advice

Regards Ian

According to a web search.

Most battery manufacturers use a standardized code to indicate the manufacturing date of the battery. The code is usually a combination of letters and numbers, with the first two characters representing the month and the next two characters representing the year.

For example, if the code is “C5”, the battery was manufactured in March 2015. Similarly, if the code is “A7”, the battery was manufactured in January 2017.

So if this is true, your battery was made in 2007, which I doubt.

Found this but I don't see how your numbers fit, unless there is more on the battery somewhere else.

And now just found this:
