Default Optima battery date codes
Stupid question here, but does anyone know how to decipher the date codes on the Optima batteries? Two local shops have some on the shelves with date codes like "1 310". One of the salesmen told me that the first number is the year (in this case, 2001) and the second number is the day (in this case, some time in November). This would mean that the particular battery is almost 6 months old. I haven't been able to find any with later numbers. What's the straight scoop?
