Evening all just a quick one. How do you date your 12v battery. I’ve just replaced mine and would like to know how old the battery on the car was 2016 4.4 diesel

"The easiest way to find out the age of your battery is to locate the battery. Many batteries have a date on top of them which shows when they were manufactured. This date will help you figure out how old your car battery is.

However, if the battery is undated, you can find a code on the battery or battery cover. The first two characters on this code will tell you when the battery was manufactured. The first character is a number, ranging from 0 to 9. This tells the last digit for the year of manufacture, for example, 9 would be 2019. The second character will tell you the month of manufacture, from A-L (January to December). For example, K would be November, so 9K or K9 would be November 2019. The first two characters are interchangeable depending on who makes the battery."

The date stamp is usually by the terminals if there isn't a clear date of production notice.

Okey dokey thanks
I’ll have a look tomorrow and try and work it out lol 2016 4.4 diesel

On the other side of the coin. Ive had this car since march 23 and I still love it. Now that the new battery is fitted stop start is now working, I thought it was disabled due to it having a ghost fitted. Clearly not Wish it was still off. Its something I dislike 2016 4.4 diesel

 “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

My battery date was stamped on the actual terminal. 2015 and I only changed it in the Summer because the stop start wasn't working.........wish I hadn't bothered. 🤨

My money is on it being the original - unless it has a full MD service history.

Not many people pay the extra for the JLR battery.

Yes finally got to go to the shed and checked. Yes as the previous poster. It was on the negative post 2016. So yes the original. Thanks for all the input. Much appreciated 2016 4.4 diesel
