Yes, I could not find any numbers on it at all, other than the model type.
So I could not even begin to decode a date of manufacture.
I am afraid the old battery will crap out again, but it seems to have held
up well the last several days. I pulled out the old battery in my Yamaha
Waverunner, hoping that they are the same size. Nope, the Waverunner is
about 50% bigger.

Reading the code is not as easy as looking at a date.
if it says A9, for example, it was made the first
month (A) of 1999 (9).
