Where is the production date of Varta battery?
2 Answers
Varta battery production date is located on the steel stamp between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. The code on the steel stamp indicates the production date. The following is the method to identify the battery production date: The first digit represents the year, which is an Arabic numeral. The second digit represents the month, using English letters, where A stands for January, B for February, and so on. The third digit represents the production location, with C standing for Chongqing and Z for Zhejiang. The fourth and fifth digits indicate the specific production date. The sixth and seventh digits represent the production team. Below is extended information about automotive batteries: 1. They are divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. 2. The structure of lead-acid batteries mainly consists of positive (negative) plates, separators, electrolyte, case, connecting strips, and terminals. 3. When starting the engine, they provide a strong starting current to the starter. 4. When the generator is overloaded, they can assist the generator in supplying power to electrical equipment. 5. When the engine is idling, they supply power to electrical equipment.
I've been driving for several years and pay great attention to battery maintenance. The production date of a Varta battery is usually printed on a small label on the top or side of the battery. You can easily see it by lifting the plastic protective cover, where there's a code, such as a combination of numbers and letters. For example, 2103 might indicate production in March 2021. I often tell new drivers that checking this date is very useful because a battery typically lasts about 3-5 years, and aging batteries are prone to failure in winter. I usually clean the battery terminals every six months and check the date at the same time, which helps extend the battery's life and saves on repair costs, making things much easier. Don't forget to use a stiff brush to clean off dirt and keep the label clear to avoid unexpected failure risks. For specific decoding, you can refer to the user manual, as different models may vary slightly.
