Date code on LR batteries?

[Nechaken]

Was trying to figure out when my battery was last replaced. Am I missing something or is there just no mfg date present? Or maybe on the side so I need to pull it out to look?

Got the vehicle 6 months ago and PO had everything done at the dealer, so it could be original (6 years?!) … or not.

3 years is the max lifetime for me. Very doubtful your battery is 6 years old…
I always use a paint pen and write the installation date on the top where it is easily seen.

As I recall, my AutoZone batteries have date stamps on the side on the end towards the front and ut cannot be seen unless removing the battery.

The 2011 stock LR “Varta” batteries lasted 2.5 years on the dot! Anything put on these trucks are rebranded “Vartas”. They suck!

Maybe they switched eventually? My LR-branded battery is marked "Exide"

I know for a while the standard under-warranty replacement at a lot of Land Rover dealers was an Interstate battery.
