Battery - how old is it - year of production

The production date of the battery is not displayed in the Omni or the Omni App. However, it can often be determined from the serial number, which is located as a sticker on the top side of the battery beneath the battery base.

The barcode is a series of numbers and letters written in plain text directly below. This in turn contains the coding for the production date. It often contains a letter (e.g. ‚A‘ for 2020, ‚B‘ for 2021, ‚C‘ for 2022, ‚Y‘ for year, etc.) or a number, followed by the year and month of manufacture, sometimes separated by a W (week) and followed by the number of the week in the year in which the battery was produced.

Stromer coding is not standardized. Here is an example:

Specifically with the ST1306AC... serial numbers, the manufacturing date cannot be easily deciphered.
