[T3] I must be losing my mind , Interstate battery content

[William J]

 On Interstates and autozone batteries they lazor a 5 letter and number code 
on the top near one corner A = Jan b feb and so on the second is a numer 5 
is 2015 7 2016 . They only place the round sticker for when they charge 
them.
 I never checked the autozone one I got in 2009 ever yet listened to them 
saying you never need to add water that's what killed it . Now I don't risk 
it and check the date , make certain they are full by removing the 2 caps 
and check the voltage and all 3 interstates needed some charging 2 more that 
the second one.
